Those who hold a second nationality and want to run for these offices will have to renounce it before applying to register as candidates. The provision seeks to ensure that people holding these responsibilities maintain only their legal bond of Mexican nationality while in office.
Imo ever country should have this provision. It’s insane that the president of the US could be a citizen of another country. If you are going to driving high level policy it’s not unreasonable to expect you to renounce other citizenships
in my opinion ANY position in governments (maybe excluding education (teachers)) should be like this.
if you really want to “serve” your country you can easily cancel your citizenship of another country.
I can think of two countries off the top of my head where this is untrue. For USA you need to pay to renounce your citizenship, & China won’t allow you to at all. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the requirement that they are a citizen for government positions, but it seems a little heavy handed for positions that don’t have direct influence over foreign policy.
