Overview

• President Claudia Sheinbaum’s bill would replace or tighten the legítimo interest standard by requiring a real, actual and differentiated injury that yields a concrete benefit to obtain amparo.
• The proposal also revises suspension of acts and introduces language allowing authorities to claim material or legal impossibility to avoid complying with amparo judgments.
• After the first hearing, Commission chair Javier Corral said the initiative will not pass as sent and called adjustments inevitable to avoid curtailing collective or diffuse rights.
• Experts urged textual fixes such as specifying that injury may be individual or collective, dropping the requirement that harm be actual rather than imminent, and strengthening penalties for noncompliance.
• The Senate’s leadership scheduled an expedited path with committee work between today and tomorrow and a possible plenary vote this week, even as civil groups warn of setbacks for indigenous, agrarian and environmental claimants.
