The Senate Committees have generally approved the proposal of 'constitutional supremacy' presented by Adán Augusto López, coordinator of the Morena parliamentary group. This measure seeks to prevent amparos or any other legal resources against changes to the Constitution, such as those related to the judicial reform that has faced suspensions. The bill, which adds a paragraph to Article 105 of the Political Constitution, has been approved in general and particular by the committees and will now go to the plenary for discussion next week.
In an extraordinary meeting of the United Committees on Constitutional Points and Legislative Studies of the Senate, with 24 votes in favor and five against, the draft reform regarding non-challenge by normal means was approved.
However, the initiative presented by López was modified by his fellow senators from the Committees on Constitutional Points and Legislative Studies, chaired by Oscar Cantón and Enrique Inzunza, to prevent it from being retroactive, causing some confusion in the Green Party, an ally of Morena. Arturo Escobar, leader of that party, expressed opposition to the project, seeing no need to limit the challenge of constitutional amendments.
Escobar mentioned that the proposal from the Morena coordinators seeks to prevent any modification to the Constitution from being challenged, raising concerns about citizens' rights. Despite initial doubts, Karen Castrejón, national leader of the Green Party, stated they would support the initiative after addressing their concerns with the adjustments made in Article 1, and clarified that she had not approved a statement with declarations contrary to the party's stance.
