Deputies, ready to remove daylight saving time

The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, affirmed that inside that legislative chamber they are ready to repeal the summer time, since the majority of the deputies endorse the initiative of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Through a statement, he stressed that there is an agreement between the coordinators of the parliamentary groups represented in San Lázaro to carry out this matter, which was turned over to the Energy Commission to issue the corresponding opinion.

“It is a schedule that came into force 26 years ago to generate energy savings, reduce the use of fuel and reduce the emission of pollutants, but the savings have remained below 1% of the energy consumed each year and have been decreasing. due to technological advances and improvements in the industry, which have led to more efficient consumption,” he said.

In addition, he said, scientific studies, including one from UNAM, have shown that the implementation of seasonal schedules affects health in the short, medium and long term, especially in children and adolescents, causing sleep disorders, heart problems, imbalances in the biological clock and different psycho-emotional alterations.

He said that according to data from the federal government, a survey was conducted last May in which 71.4% decided to maintain a single schedule throughout the year.

“For this reason, we consider it feasible to eliminate summer time, the use of which is not justified by the few energy savings and the multiple effects on the health of Mexicans. It is only considered to maintain it in some parts of the northern border given the deep labor, social, cultural and economic integration with the United States, ”he said.
