The approval of the draft regarding "constitutional supremacy" is in process in several states and will depend on how progress is made in other entities and the work of the Constitutional Points Commission. Homero Barrera, president of the commission, mentioned that a resolution will be sought in accordance with the local context, considering both supporting and opposing opinions on the project.
Leonor Mejía Barraza, state leader of the PAN, expressed her concern about recent constitutional changes, pointing out that they grant excessive power to Morena and threaten democracy, freedoms, and institutions by limiting legal protections and controversies against amendments to the Constitution. Mejía Barraza condemned the advancement towards the approval of decisions without the possibility of legal challenge.
So far, more than 20 local congresses have approved the draft, exceeding the minimum requirement of 17, so only its publication is needed for it to take effect. Regarding the LXI local legislature, it may choose not to discuss the federal ruling on Constitutional Supremacy. Andrea Tovar Saavedra, president of the Board of Directors, explained that they are waiting for the physical document to begin the legislative process, as due to recent reforms, the paper document is required to proceed.
Given the approvals from multiple local congresses for the draft, Querétaro's vote could become obsolete in this legislative process. Consequently, some issues such as the judiciary, inherited from the previous legislature, may not reach full discussion due to this situation.
