Mexico’s lower house has approved two of 20 special commission requests
Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies has received 20 requests to create special commissions during its current legislative term.
So far, lawmakers have approved only two: one on artificial intelligence and one to monitor the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada.
The latest proposal, from Morena leader Ariadna Montiel, would create a commission to investigate the 2006 presidential election.
The proposal follows former President Vicente Fox’s statement that he influenced that election.
Morena lawmaker Ricardo Monreal said the governing majority has enough votes to approve the commission even without opposition support.
If approved, it would be the third special commission created during this term.
