Mexico’s Lower House Receives Amparo Reform With Retroactivity Clause Intact After Senate Delay

Opposition parties vow to reject the bill over a retroactivity clause they argue violates Article 14.

Overview

  • The Senate transmitted the decree to the Chamber of Deputies after a four-day delay with no changes or fe de erratas, Ricardo Monreal said.
  • The Senate-approved transitory would apply the new rules to amparo cases already in process, prompting accusations of retroactivity.
  • PAN coordinator Elías Lixa and PRI leader Rubén Moreira said they will vote against the draft and file reservations to alter it.
  • Moreira warned that retroactive application could harm rights in roughly 200,000 ongoing cases, including disputes with the tax authority.
  • Monreal indicated regular processing in San Lázaro with referral to the Justice Commission next week, while Morena’s Pedro Haces Barba invoked Article 14 and urged corrections during review.
