During a 10-hour session in San Lázaro, the protests did not cease as Morena managed to impose itself and disavowed the Judiciary. The Chamber of Deputies approved with a majority of 343 votes in favor and 129 against a reform that guarantees "constitutional supremacy" and limits the intervention of the Judiciary in constitutional reforms.
Amid intense debates, articles 105 and 107 of the Constitution were modified. The reform was quickly sent to several local Congresses for approval, with the intention of making the constitutional declaration on the same day and publishing it immediately in the Official Journal of the Federation.
The reform includes the addition of a paragraph to article 105 stating that constitutional controversies or actions of unconstitutionality related to additions or amendments to the Constitution will not be admissible. It also specifies that the amparo lawsuit against such additions or reforms will not be admissible, as established by the amendment in article 107.
Opposition deputies, mainly from the PAN, protested against the reform, highlighting cries of "dictatorship," wearing costumes alluding to the death of the Judiciary and holding rejection banners. For her part, MC legislator Laura Ballesteros expressed that the reform seeks to exert "absolute control over the Constitution" and questioned the legitimacy of its approval.
The atmosphere of tension heightened during the session, as deputies from Morena, PT, and PVEM opted to remain in their offices from early morning due to possible protests and blockades by Judiciary workers that were anticipated outside the Legislative Palace.
