Ricardo Anaya, senator of the PAN, expressed his rejection of the recently approved constitutional 'supremacy' bill in the Senate. This reform aims to prevent the Judiciary from challenging constitutional reforms. During the discussion in the Upper House, Anaya called the debate 'schizophrenic' and pointed out that the initiative seeks to prevent the Supreme Court from reviewing legislative decisions pushed by the ruling party.
Anaya criticized the legislators from PT, Partido Verde, and Morena for attempting to resolve conflicts with the Judiciary by reforming the Constitution. He also questioned Morena's argument that their legislative decisions are backed by the people of Mexico, reminding them that a large part of the population did not vote for them. According to Anaya, the 46% who did not vote for the ruling party are also part of the people, and their interests must be considered.
At the core of this reform are the modifications to Articles 105 and 107 of the Constitution, aiming to establish the inadmissibility of amparos and controversies against constitutional reforms. These modifications seek to protect the constitutional reforms approved by the ruling majority in Congress, such as the election of judges and the eventual elimination of autonomous bodies, in light of criticisms regarding corruption and impartiality towards the Judiciary.
Senator Anaya warned about the attempt to prevent the Court from reviewing legislative decisions and called for appealing sentences that one disagrees with instead of disobeying them. In this regard, Anaya rejects the constitutional 'supremacy' bill and denounces the intention to limit the Judiciary's review of constitutional reforms driven by the ruling party.
