Mexico backs amendment to annul election results over foreign interference
Mexico's lower house has approved a constitutional amendment allowing the annulment of elections due to foreign interference. Critics argue that this measure could undermine the electoral process and create new challenges for legitimate results. The amendment, which still requires Senate approval, defines foreign interference broadly and reflects growing concerns within the ruling party about external influences on Mexican politics.
- ▪The amendment passed with 307 votes in favor and 128 against in the Chamber of Deputies.
- ▪It defines foreign interference as illicit financing, propaganda, and digital manipulation, among other factors.
- ▪Opposition lawmakers argue that the reform could undermine confidence in the electoral process.
