Morena Splits Over Amparo Reform as Fast-Track Push Collides With Plans for Expert Forum

The procedural fight reflects mounting strains over caucus control and transparency.

Overview

  • Senate coordinator Adán Augusto López insisted there will be no conversatorios or parlamento abierto and outlined a fast-track plan with a commission vote Tuesday and a plenary vote Wednesday.
  • Vicecoordinator Ignacio Mier and senators Ana Lilia Rivera and Manuel Huerta said commissions will hold a limited conversatorio with technical experts after conferring with presidential legal counsel Ernestina Godoy.
  • Excélsior reported that Godoy signaled openness to expert dialogue provided it is not a full public hearing, reinforcing a commission-based forum rather than a Parlamento Abierto.
  • The reform to the Ley de Amparo has drawn sharp criticism from sectors warning of potential rollbacks of judicial protections for citizens, elevating pressure on how the review is conducted.
  • Internal frictions persist as senators press López to account for 338.3 million pesos in caucus subsidies and at least 13 members recently opposed his unilateral decisions, even as Mier defended the finances and denied a rebellion.
