President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presented an extensive package of constitutional reforms on Monday. The proposals will need opposition votes to be approved.

They range from the creation of a new pension scheme to a reconfiguration of the Judiciary. The proposal promises to shake up the political table heading into the June 2 elections, writes Ruben Navarrette. The opposition maintains doubts about the budgetary viability of the project, but risks having its rejection take its toll at the polls, he adds.
