MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico's Senate on Thursday passed a measure to abolish the autonomous bodies that regulate some economic sectors and ensure government transparency, a reform that has sparked outcry from the opposition and industry.
Lawmakers in the upper chamber voted on the proposal's general terms with 86 in favor and 42 against, with nearly the same tally coming in for the bill's particular terms.
