Mexican legislative oversight of federal cabinet

Overview

Federal Deputy Rubén Moreira Valdez introduced a constitutional reform initiative to amend Article 69 of the Mexican Constitution. The proposal aims to make appearances by Cabinet Secretaries before Congress mandatory to prevent ‘institutional opacity’ and strengthen the balance of powers, noting that official attendance dropped from 93.3 percent in 2019 to 61.1 percent in 2022.

Following these legislative efforts regarding oversight, the Mexican Chamber of Deputies summoned 16 federal officials to participate in hearings concerning President Claudia Sheinbaum’s Second Government Report. These sessions involve various commissions and the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo). High-profile officials scheduled for appearances include Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection Omar García Harfuch, Federal Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos, Secretary of Finance Édgar Amador Zamora, and Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard.

In recent developments, the Chamber of Deputies has confirmed that several officials are scheduled to appear before the Jucopo in private sessions. Among those slated for these hearings is Secretary of Security and Protection of Citizenship Omar García Harfuch, with an appearance scheduled for October 8, 2026.
