The amparo reform tries to limit abuses that have been committed with this resource. For example, it has been used to stop Megaprojects and government initiatives, which the Executive perceives as “legal sabotage”, rather than a legitimate counterweight exercise.
However, PRI Rubén Moreira and Manuel Añorve denounced that Morena wants to make the initiative a useful instrument to protect the State and not people.
Moreira, coordinator of federal deputies of the tricolorhe confirmed that his party will not participate in forums “in way, organized by the ruling”, which seek to legitimize the presidential initiative, and called on lawyers, the academy and civil society to express against themselves against.
“If we allow this reform to advance, tomorrow no citizen will have how to stop an abuse of authority. The amparo trial was born to put limits to power, not to serve him.”
Añorve, coordinator of the Senators of the PRI, said that the proposal is a dangerous decline in the democracy of the country because it privileges government interests above the human rights of Mexicans.
He anticipated that the PRI bench in the Senate will vote against the today called “Law of Fish appendage”, because it is a norm made by way, to satisfy the interests of an “authoritarian government such as the one headed by Morena”.
On the other hand, Senator María Guadalupe Chavira rejected the opposition accusations that citizens are violated; On the contrary, he assured that it is a guarantee reform package that includes mechanisms to expedite the application of justice and prioritize social rights over personal.
He explained that the document seeks to limit chocks that have been used since 2011, when the figure of legitimate interest was introduced, and that ended in abuse.
He pointed out that there are many examples, such as the amparo that was processed to prevent the distribution of textbooks that affected millions of students, or the defrosting of accounts that the Financial Intelligence Unit had detected by the fraud commission and were released through unclear amparos.
“It is a complex issue and in the Senate we want to listen to specialists and experts, so the ruling commissions are in the assessment of whether it is viable to propose … an agile consultation mechanism.”
