The dysfunctionality between the Executive and Legislative Powers in Mexico

Abstract

The present work aims to answer the questions about, ¿What are some of the dysfunctions that appear in the relationship between the Legislative and Executive Powers in Mexico? and ¿What perspectives can be expected in the current context, between these powers? Regarding the first question, if we start from the idea that there is dysfunctionality in the relationship, understood as a disorder, alteration or anomaly, (according to the main synonyms of the concept of dysfunction), between both powers. Will try to expose which are some of them which we consider, have had a high social, economic and political cost, throughout the democratic life of Mexico, causing a loss of sovereignty and propitiated a crisis of political representation. The hypothesis of this article argues that such dysfunction is the effect of the crisis of political representation and loss of sovereignty, which is reflected in the three contexts described above. Regarding the second question, will try to point out some of the perspectives derived from this relationship, which can be presented in the scenario of our current Mexican presidential system.
