The united commissions of Constitutional Points and Legislative Studies of the Senate approved in general and particular with 24 votes in favor and 10 against with modifications the initiative that makes unassailable reforms to the Constitution through constitutional controversy, the unconstitutionality action and the amparo trial.
The Morena majority withdrew the modifications to articles 1 and 105 of the Constitution from the ruling, in the face of criticism from the opposition regarding human rights violations. The opinion was submitted to the Board of Directors of the Senate and it was ordered to be published in the Parliamentary Gazette.
In the midst of a harsh and long debate, the ruling party had committed in the voice of the coordinator of Morena, Adán Augusto López, not to bring these reforms to the plenary session until next week, but reported that the PVEM presented a request to include in the agenda for today’s session.
The opposition celebrated that the ruling party reversed the changes to article 1 of the Magna Carta, because “it is a step in the right direction,” he said.
The reform establishes that the amparo trial against additions or reforms to the Political Constitution will not proceed.
With the modifications, the opinion states, the aim is to clarify, “for those who today consider that a reform is contestable,” that the current Mexican constitutional system does not contemplate this possibility.
The document highlights that the initial initiative was modified, which is why the reform that the proponents had proposed to modify article 1 of the Political Constitution was omitted from the opinion, and which stated that:
“The norms relating to human rights will be interpreted in accordance with this Constitution and with the international treaties on the matter, favoring people at all times with the broadest protection, but in no case may they be disapplied by means of conventionality control.” .
They ask to stop the initiative
Civil society organizations are preparing a letter addressed to the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, where they will ask that alternatives be considered that may allow strengthening constitutional stability and the effective protection of human rights.
This, after Morena, through its coordinators in San Lázaro and the Chamber of Senators, Ricardo Monreal and Adán Augusto López, seek to establish that no power can override the determinations of the constituent or the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
The organizations pointed out that there are alternatives to guarantee governability and constitutional stability without sacrificing the rights of all people.
Around 308 participants signed the petition.
Mexican Observatory of Policies for Development AC Todos Ciudadanos, Baja California, Colectiva Nahualas Feministas desde la Periferia, Accompaniment Group Todos Somos Elisa, Institute of Citizen Action for Justice and Democracy AC are some of the signatories.
The Universal
External Church Concern
Within the framework of the reform of the Judicial Branch, the Mexican Church called on the Legislative Branch to that takes into account all political forces, listens to specialists in Constitutional Law, respects the principle of democratic participation and preserves the common good above particular interests.
“We consider that the Constitutional Reform of the Judicial Branch that is underway should be more widely discussed and analyzed by the Legislative Branch, following the principle of subsidiarity, a fundamental pillar of the social doctrine of the Church, which recognizes and promotes the participation of all social actors in the decisions that affect the community,” he expressed.
Through a statement, the Conference of the Mexican Episcopate (CEM) expressed to the citizens, public opinion and the three Powers of the Union, its most deep concern about “the seriousness of the recent events that accentuate an unprecedented polarization around the legal framework and harmony between the different powers of the country.”
Morena goes against “golden bureaucracy”
Senators from Morena insisted on the need to create, within the framework of the judicial reform, a body dedicated to administrative issues to avoid cases of corruption and the so-called “golden bureaucracy” within the Federal Judiciary Council (CJF)this is due to complaints from service providers and companies about the collection of fees in the delivery of contracts and tenders.
Pavel Jarero Velázquez, senator for Morena, stated that Given the repeated complaints, a very specific investigation must be carried out to see possible cases of corruption or collection of money in the Judiciary..
In this context, senators received a group of service providers and companies that have bid before the Federal Judiciary Council. They argued that in view of the reform of the Judiciary, what they called the “golden bureaucracy” that distributes contracts with discretion to friendly businessmen be eliminated.
“Alito” calls to stop the controversial initiative
