Mexican President Says Ready to Change Constitution to Implement Energy Reform

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday that if the country’s supreme court decides to strike down his energy law reform, the president will propose changing the constitution.

Last week, the second administrative district court temporarily suspended the energy law that favors the facilities of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) when it comes to supplying the national grid. Per the request from the president, the case will be reviewed by a supreme court panel. A constitutional hearing has been scheduled for April 27.

The law, which was approved by the parliament and entered force on March 10, deals with the energy purchasing procedure, prioritizing CFE over private companies.

The supreme court, however, already struck down a similar policy last June on the grounds of it violating free-market principles.
