The Chamber of Deputies approved the reform of ‘constitutional supremacy’ with a qualified majority to prevent the Judiciary from reviewing any changes to the Constitution. The measure must be endorsed by the majority of state legislatures and subsequently published in the Official Journal of the Federation by Claudia Sheinbaum.
The coalition of Morena, PVEM, and PT prevailed with 340 votes in favor, while the opposition presented 133 against and one abstention. The reform modifies Article 105 of the Constitution, restricting the ability to challenge additions or reforms to the Political Constitution. This addition establishes that it is "inadmissible to challenge the additions or modifications to the Constitution."
Furthermore, it states that "the amparo trial will not proceed against additions or reforms to the Constitution." The amparo rulings will only address the individuals who requested it, protecting them in the specific case of the claim. The reform will come into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the Federation.
According to Morena, the reform reinforces the unchallengeability as a constitutional principle. The rulings on the unconstitutionality of general norms will have no general effect.
