Overview

• The Senate approved a reform to the Ley de Amparo that adds a transitory applying the new rules retroactively to pending cases after it was reinserted by reserva on the floor.
• Ricardo Monreal said the minuta will go to the Justice Commission, rejected a fast-track process, and indicated he would seek to reverse the retroactivity in line with constitutional limits.
• Kenia López Rabadán pledged an open, plural debate and said she will vote against the bill if the retroactivity language remains unchanged.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum and multiple legislators questioned the clause as unconstitutional, while some Morena senators defended it as a way to accelerate justice and noted the Court could review it.
• Debate is expected next week in commissions and the full chamber with numerous reservations that could modify or remove the contested provision.
