DEPUTY ALFONSO RAMÍREZ CUÉLLAR PROMOTES BENEFITS OF THE FEDERAL ANTITRUST AND COMPETITION LAW

The vice-coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, remains very active in promoting his initiative and assures that with an Antimonopoly and Economic Competition Law, the abuses of market power will be put to an end and the economy of Mexicans will be protected. “This proposal seeks to strengthen the regulatory framework to guarantee fair markets, combat monopolistic practices and promote economic well-being in Mexico,” he explained. The initiative is based on the recognition that economic competition is a fundamental pillar for economic justice and the well-being of the population, which is why Ramírez Cuéllar highlighted that the excessive concentration of power in the market has generated overpricing in essential goods and services, disproportionately affecting lower-income households. We will be watching the process that is given to this proposal, which will surely have the support of the majority. In time.

SENATOR MANLIO FABIO BELTRONES CONSIDERS THAT THE FGR SHOULD ACT ACCORDING TO DUE PROCESS

Always consistent, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones shares his views on current issues. Yesterday in the Senate, Beltrones expressed his opinion on the case of Ismael El Mayo Zambada. Beltrones maintains that, if the Attorney General's Office (FGR) has evidence that the drug trafficker was delivered to the United States through illegal extraction, it should follow due process and inform the US authorities about the arrest warrants existing in Mexico. The senator believes that the Mexican government faces a complicated situation, since, while it suspects illegal extraction, it also recognizes that Zambada is a wanted criminal for years. Beltrones emphasizes the need for the FGR to act in accordance with the law, requesting that Zambada be presented before the Mexican justice system before any action by the United States.

PAN SENATOR RICARDO ANAYA CONSIDERS THAT SECONDARY LAWS IN ENERGY MATTERS VIOLATE THE T-MEC

The PAN coordinator, Ricardo Anaya , was very active during the committee meeting where the package of reforms sent by the president on energy matters was approved.

(…) Now, beyond the ideological question, the problem is that this violates the Free Trade Agreement. “They see that the child is cheerful and they tickle him. Yes, Trump is a bully, he violates the Free Trade Agreement every other day, and by eliminating these two regulatory bodies that are now independent, you are violating the T-MEC, even if you say no, you are violating the T-MEC, and this will be reported to the panels and will bring us additional problems,” he warned.
