Moreira said that this fact constitutes a serious precedent, since it introduces discretion and obstruction in a procedure that by constitutional mandate must be limited to a verification function. In addition to this, the rights of thousands of workers are violated by preventing them from accessing constitutional law to a decent salary.
The PRI stressed that the declaration of constitutionality can also be carried out by the permanent, as established in article 135 of the Magna Carta. Given the above, he requested that this instance fulfill its responsibility to carry out the voting of votes of the local legislatures and the declaration of constitutional reform, to give continuity to the process and specify the benefit.
In addition to the PRI, Citizen Movement has also requested that the declaration of constitutionality be issued. However, Morena has given the issue long due to the economic expenditure that will imply for the government, the entry into force of the reform.
