Mexican Senate Opens Two-Day Hearings on Amparo Reform as Vote Timing Remains in Dispute

Opposition leaders denounce a rushed process, with the PRI boycotting the consultation.

Overview

  • United Justice, Finance, and Legislative Studies committees are holding public hearings today and Tuesday to review President Claudia Sheinbaum’s proposal to modify the Ley de Amparo and related statutes.
  • A total of 37 experts from academia, civil society, and business groups are presenting across two sessions organized by the Senate commissions.
  • Topics under review include interés legítimo and suspension, deadlines and consequences for noncompliance, the digital amparo, expansion of claims, execution of judgments, and alignment with the Fiscal Code and TFJA law.
  • Senate leader Adán Augusto López signaled the reform could be approved this week, whereas a separate legislative route reported by El Economista points to commission and floor votes next week.
  • This week’s agenda also features appearances by Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez before the full Senate and Finance Secretary Édgar Amador on Wednesday, alongside debate on the 2026 package that proposes raising the provisional ISR withholding on bank interest from 0.50% to 0.90%.
