Overview

• The plenary vote on July 10 capped nearly a month of forums and commission debates incorporating proposals from citizens, specialists and human rights organizations.
• Lawmakers approved the amendment with 34 votes in favor, six against—five from PAN and one from PRI deputy Delfina Pozos Vergara—and one abstention by MC’s Fedrha Suriano Corrales.
• The updated statute explicitly excludes criticisms of public servants from the cyberstalking definition and lowers maximum penalties under Article 480.
• PAN and PRI deputies argued that vague wording could still punish public denunciations and predicted the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación will review the measure.
• Morena coordinator Laura Artemisa García defended the reform as evidence of legislative openness and rejected claims of censorship or authoritarianism.
