Mexican chambers of commerce are being criticized for prioritizing their image in the media over protecting their members and the population amidst the current legal situation in the country. It is pointed out that the new reform to Article 19 of the Constitution represents a threat to legality in Mexico, especially for those under criminal investigation. This scenario puts the country's entrepreneurs at risk.
There is a question of whether business leaders care enough about their freedom and security, especially considering the delicate position of the Mexican government before the United States. International pressure and the lack of real accountability could lead to innocent people being affected by actions of the Attorney General's Office.
A call is made to the presidents of various chambers of commerce to establish clear rules that protect entrepreneurs, preventing them from being unjustly deprived of their freedom. The need to address issues of foreign trade in Mexico, including smuggling and the illegal trafficking of substances, is highlighted.
The reform to Article 19 of the Constitution is seen as a violation of human rights and legal principles, according to Congressman José Manuel Hinojosa Pérez. It is emphasized that the precautionary measure of preventive imprisonment will automatically apply to those under investigation for crimes such as smuggling. This provision raises concerns in the field of foreign trade in the country.
