MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s main opposition party will introduce legislation to allow members of the clergy to vote and engage in political activities, officials said Friday.
Abel Vicencio Tovar, secretary general of the conservative National Action Party, said the legislation, to be introduced next week, will seek to change Mexico’s constitution, which bars clergy of any faith from voting and wearing religious garb in public and churches from owning property.
