LXIV Legislature (2018 – 2021) Congress of the Union Abstract During the General Congress’ session on September 1st the LXIV Legislature formally began. Derived from the electoral results of last July 1st, the party of the Elected President (MORENA) was favored with a broad representation in both Houses of Congress, which will allow him to approve secondary reforms with the exception of the Constitutional ones. This, together with the alliance with the Labor and Social Encounter Parties, forms a simple majority, which provides better conditions for negotiating the 2019 Budget and other laws that the Presidency promotes. On the other hand, it is possible that it has the support of other political forces, in addition the opposition will have limited resources to make counterweights and position its agenda. The "AMLO effect" presented in the last electoral process prevented independent candidates from achieving the required votes to become members of the next legislature. This legislature is characterized by guaranteeing gender parity in the integration of both Houses, as well the elected legislators by the principle of relative majority are subject to re-election for the next federal election. Within the pending issues of this new legislature are: the Organic Law of the General Attorney, the appointment of General Attorney, amendments to anti- corruption systems and the new criminal justice system, added to the austerity issues in the Legislative Power, driven mainly by MORENA’s parliamentary group in both Houses.
