Three for one: austerity initiative to blend regulatory and antitrust institutions

Reform initiative
On 10 June 2020 Senator Ricardo Monreal of the National Regeneration Party (MORENA)(1)
presented a reform initiative to amend Articles 27 and 28 of the Constitution. Through this reform,
Monreal proposed to join (and extinguish) three state organs which he believes share certain powers
and competencies – namely, the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), the Federal
Telecommunications Institute (IFT) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). The resulting
organ would be the National Institute of Markets and Competition for Welfare (INMECOB).
