Morena Rules Out Open Forum on Amparo Reform as Senate Fast-Tracks Review

Senate leaders target early October approval, moving the bill into committee next week.

Overview

  • Morena coordinator Adán Augusto López Hernández said there will be no parlamento abierto and that the initiative will be analyzed in committees before going to the full Senate.
  • Senate President Laura Itzel Castillo rejected additional consultations, arguing the draft reflects prior expert input gathered during its preparation.
  • Justice Commission chair Javier Corral insisted on a consultation mechanism with experts or stakeholders and said he will seek an agreement with commission leaders and the Jucopo.
  • The proposal reaffirms that suspensions in amparos against laws cannot have general effects and sets a 60‑day deadline to issue rulings after the constitutional hearing.
  • Opposition leaders from PAN, PRI and Movimiento Ciudadano condemned the closed process and pressed for open debate, as majority leaders project committee review next week and a vote by late September or early October.
