The Parliamentary Precinct was the first building constructed to house the legislative branch.

It operated from 1829 until 1872, when it burned down, and the country’s first constitutions were approved there.

Now, after years of work, it has been reopened and its space, murals and patio will be open to the public.

The reopening took place this Monday in a ceremony presided over by President López Obrador and Senator Olga Sánchez Cordero, President of the Upper House.

The head of government of the capital, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the secretaries of Interior, Adán Augusto López, and Foreign Relations, Marcelo Ebrard, were also present. All three are potential candidates for Morena’s presidential bid in the 2024 elections.
