Overview

• Senators plan to take up the measure next week after a brief Monday–Tuesday consultation that the Barra Mexicana de Abogados criticizes as a token exercise.
• The draft confines suspensions against general norms to the individual complainant and broadens the grounds to deny precautionary relief.
• The initiative narrows the interés legítimo doctrine, reducing the ability of people and organizations without direct personal injury to challenge laws or official acts.
• Critics say the changes would expose vulnerable groups that rely on broad suspensions, erode legal certainty for businesses and investors, and hinder review of pretrial detention.
• Commentators note a 2024 reform had already limited general‑effect suspensions, and a PRI senator reports 631,000 amparo cases so far this year, an 18% increase over 2018.
