What is the initiative to give up dual nationality?

The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, introduced an initiative requiring politicians to renounce dual nationality if they hold it, aiming to ensure candidates for high office are solely Mexican citizens. The proposal was sent to Congress on August 27 and modifies articles 82, 116, and 122 of Mexico’s Constitution. It mandates that presidential and gubernatorial candidates must be born Mexican citizens, at least 35 years old, have resided in Mexico for 20 years, and not hold any public office. The reform prohibits holding foreign citizenship, using foreign passports, or invoking foreign diplomatic protection while serving in office. It also proposes changes to nationality law to establish procedures for renouncing dual nationality both domestically and internationally. Sheinbaum emphasized that current constitutional provisions lack clarity, allowing some governors to hold dual nationality.
