Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The Mexican Congress, dominated by President Claudia Sheinbaum's Morena party, has approved a constitutional reform allowing the annulment of elections proven to have been influenced by foreign interference. Critics and experts warn the text is overly broad, potentially allowing minor acts like foreign leaders' statements or international media coverage to be cited as interference, effectively giving the ruling party a 'blank check' to challenge election results.

· 3 pulledO Congresso do México, dominado pelo Morena, o partido da presidente Claudia Sheinbaum, concluiu nesta sexta-feira (29) a aprovação de uma reforma constitucional que permite a anulação de eleições nas quais se comprove que o resultado sofreu interferência estrangeira.
A medida desperta preocupação entre opositores e especialistas, que veem muita amplitude no texto e portanto espaço para que se alegue interferência por atos irrisórios como declarações de líderes estrangeiros ou publicações em veículos de outros países.
Críticos dizem que texto é amplo demais e dá 'cheque em branco' para partido da presidente Claudia Sheinbaum
