Mexico Advances Amparo Overhaul as Spain’s Israel Arms Embargo Falters and Peru Stalls Censure Bid

Opposition warnings over weakened checks, curtailed rights intensify across all three capitals.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Senate approved in general the Ley de Amparo reform 76–39 after expedited hearings, with debate on specific articles continuing.
  • The draft clarifies “legitimate interest” as individual or collective, extends ruling deadlines to 90 days, and narrows suspensions in sensitive areas such as finance and regulated services.
  • PAN, PRI and Movimiento Ciudadano denounced a rushed process and argued the changes erode citizen protections, while Morena framed the bill as modernization of constitutional justice.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum urged turnout for her Oct. 5 Zócalo report and said she will formally propose ending legislative fuero for deputies and senators within her electoral reform push.
  • In Spain, the government ruled out an express decree to regularize migrants and faces an uncertain congressional convalidation next week for its Israel arms‑embargo decree; in Peru, a censure vote against the justice minister remains unscheduled as the Cabinet signals it will heed any final court ruling on Pedro Castillo’s pension, which is under appeal.
