The Senate approved by a majority of votes the initiative to reform articles 105 and 107 of the constitution, proposed by Morena and its allies from the Green Party and the Labor Party. This reform seeks to elevate to constitutional rank the impossibility of challenging or suspending amendments to the Constitution. Following criticism from the opposition, the initiative was simplified, encompassing only two articles and two transitory provisions instead of four and five, respectively.
In the proposal, it is established that actions of unconstitutionality and constitutional controversies against reforms or additions to the Mexican Constitution, as well as against the Amparo Law, are inadmissible. Two transitory provisions have been eliminated, including one that suspended trials questioning constitutional amendments.
In response to the opposition's criticisms, Ignacio Mier from Morena defended the initiative, refuting the accusations from the opposition that Morena was trying to reform the Constitution without a quorum or inappropriately. Despite this, concerns persist that the processes against the judicial reform may be affected by this constitutional change.
The PAN member Ricardo Anaya recognized the possibility of retroactive application in this reform, although he emphasized the complexity of the issue and the importance of considering the substance of the discussion. The opinion will be put to a vote in the full Senate, following the request from the Green Party and PRI, according to López Hernández at the conclusion of the commission session.
