Mexico ruling party lawmakers expect President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s nationalist electricity reform to win full approval by mid April of next year, a time-line that reflects the various obstacles the bill faces.
Ignacio Mier, the lower house’s ruling Morena party leader, said on Twitter that the deadline should leave enough time for power companies to be able to participate in an open debate about the controversial reform.
