Yesterday, the Senate approved this reform with 86 votes in favor from Morena and allies and 43 votes against from the opposition, so the bill was sent to the local congresses.
During the debate, legislators such as PRI member Manuel Añorve and PAN member Laura Esquivel Torres pointed out that this proposal put forward by the 4T government treats Mexicans who acquired another nationality "as if that made them traitors or disloyal to the homeland."
