“…No obstante, no hace referencia a la representación de otros grupos. Wuhs (2010), utilizando el concepto de portafolio de inversiones políticas, 8 analiza las trayectorias de los legisladores en las legislaturas lix y lx y en sus datos encuentra un marcado incremento de representantes del sector empresarial. Este autor afirma que en 2006 los grupos empresariales impulsaron el ingreso de miembros de sus organizaciones a puestos de elección popular porque sus intereses se vieron amenazados por la candidatura de izquierda de Andrés Manuel López Obrador.…”
