The deputies will debate around 300 reservations presented by 52 speakers, despite Morena warning that no modifications will be made to the ruling. The discussion centers on the constitutional supremacy initiative, which has raised concerns about a possible violation of human rights. Javier Laynez, one of the eight ministers of the Court who resigned to comply with a transitional measure of the judicial reform, expressed his concern about this in an interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva.
"What really worries me is that beyond the conflict with the Judiciary, this is already against the citizens, it goes further," Laynez commented. He pointed out that this proposal would limit the Judiciary's ability to grant protections to citizens, which he considers a serious setback.
The constitutional supremacy initiative, approved in general with 340 votes in favor, aims to prevent challenges to constitutional reforms, such as the reform of the Judiciary. This measure would modify articles 105 and 107 of the Constitution, restricting the possibilities of filing amparo lawsuits against such modifications.
The proposed decree adds a paragraph to article 105 of the Constitution that establishes the impossibility of questioning additions or reforms to the Constitution through constitutional controversies or actions of unconstitutionality. It also changes article 107 to limit the general effects of judgments in amparo trials and restrict the scope of the amparo trial against constitutional reforms.
Despite the criticisms and warnings about possible violations of citizens' rights, the constitutional supremacy initiative has been supported by the qualified majority of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies. The discussion surrounding this controversial measure will continue as the reservations presented by various legislators are analyzed and voted on.
