Mexico Overhauls Government Structure in Anti-Corruption Push
Mexico overhauls its government structure with the creation of new secretariats focused on anti-corruption, women's rights, science, technology, and digital transformation. The reforms aim to modernize the administration and address pressing challenges.
In a legislative move, Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies has approved a comprehensive reform of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration, heralding the creation of three new secretariats and a cutting-edge Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency. The reforms, initiated by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in collaboration with legislators from the PAN, PVEM, and PRI parties, aim to modernize governance, enhance transparency, and address critical societal issues.
The bill, now awaiting Senate approval, represents a transformative step for the Mexican government, addressing the nation’s pressing needs through structural innovation. Its provisions include the establishment of the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat, the Secretariat for Women, and the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation. The reforms also encompass a linguistic shift, replacing references to “President of the United Mexican States or Federal Executive” with the more inclusive term “person in charge of the Federal Executive.”
