Morena presents initiative to halve party spending

The bench of Morena presented the reform initiative to the Standing Committee to reduce expenses of political parties by 50% .

If approved, by 2019 could rise from 4 thousand 713 million to 2 thousand 356 million pesos the expense of the permanent activities of the various political forces.

In presenting the initiative signed by the deputies Juan Romero Tenorio and Rodrigo Abdalá, the deputy morenista Alicia Barrientos argued that the constitutional amendment to the formula of assignment of prerogatives will end with the " parties poster "where the members of the domes made political institutes a bargain.

He said that the initiative was introduced three times because each campaign is outraged by party system spending, but this is useless if no action is taken to change the funding formula.

Assuming that Morena is consistent with his legislative program, we are therefore presenting this initiative to reduce party prerogatives by 50% of permanent activities.

"The model of the electoral system of the parties is exhausted and seriously questioned, it is a question of dismantling a financing system that favors the parties of the cartel and has the consequence that the financing of the campaigns has become perverse, generating a money addiction, a deterioration in the quality of policy frameworks has led to policy-based business opportunities and, with it, to public-based personal enrichment. to become a business, "he insisted.

He explained that by 2019 it is estimated that the Federation contributes to the parties, for the concept of Permanent Ordinary Activities the amount of 4 thousand 713 million 984 thousand 145 pesos at least.

This, given the multiplication of the total number of citizens registered in the electoral register of 89 million 978 thousand 701 thousand, according to information from the National Electoral Institute until July 6, 2018, for 65% of the daily value of the unit of measure and updated from 2018 to 80.60 pesos.

On the other hand, if the constitutional reform proposed by Morena is applied, a saving of 2 thousand 356 million 992 thousand 72 pesos will be generated, the amount to be disbursed as prerogatives for political parties at federal level during the year 2019, would be only 2 thousand 356 million 992 thousand 72 pesos.
