At great speed, hours after receiving the minutes from the Chamber of Deputies on the Amparo Law, the Senate approved it yesterday in its terms and sent it to the federal Executive for publication in the Official Gazette of the Federationn.
With this second step of the presidential initiative by the Senate, which agreed to the three changes made in San Lázaro and its approval with a waiver of procedures, and 82 votes in favor of Morena and allies, and 38 against the opposition, the legislative process of the controversial reform concluded.
The legislators of PRI, PAN and MC insisted that the new provisions on protection are given retroactive effects and the legislators of the 4T accused them of lying and distorting reality for electoral purposes.
“They are poisoning the debate,” said Senator Javier Corral, after the coordinator of MC, Clemente Castañeda, as well as the senators of the PRI Carolina Viggiano and the PAN Guadalupe Murguía maintained that only the issue of retroactivity was disguised and changes that restrict the right of citizens to protect themselves against acts of authority and the protection will no longer apply. collective.
“They bankrupted the country and they no longer know how and where to obtain resources, that is why they continue with this issue of retroactivity to collect pending tax credits. There are almost 200 thousand, of more than 2 billion pesos,” highlighted Viggiano and stressed that “190 thousand of them are from microenterprises, from small businesses.”
Senator Corral responded that he did not know “whether due to bad faith or pure ignorance”, the opposition affirms unsubstantiated things, falsehoods, because the Senate reformed what referred to legitimate interest, it was made clear that collective protections do apply and in the Chamber of Deputies important modifications were made, among them the one referring to the first transitional one.
There is no impact on acquired rights, only in future procedural actions, he explained and stressed that “there have been procedural abuses by the political and business elites of this country.”
In this regard, the Morenoist Enrique Inzunza clarified that the change to the first transitory takes into account the observations of experts and is based on the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice. He also corrected MC senator Alejandra Barrales, who had misquoted San Agustín. The correct quote, he said, is: “What would kingdoms be without justice, but a band of thieves.”
That, he added, “was Mexico during the Prianateduring the neoliberal era, a true gang of thieves, who sold a large part of what belonged to the people of Mexico.”
In turn, Manuel Huerta Ladrón de Guevara, also a Moreno member, explained that since it is a procedural law, “there is no retroactivity or political persecution, only the purpose of guaranteeing that amparo trials are carried out with greater legal certainty.”
The legislator, who proposed the controversial transitional in the Senate, which was corrected in the Chamber of Deputies, stressed that “more than 2,400 direct and 1,600 indirect protections and more than 600 additional actions were promoted by a single taxpayer in order to evade paying taxes.”
