In this government, laws are not promoted or endors legislators to perform the necessary modification.
When setting the federal government’s position against that reform to the Amparo Law, which was voted at dawn last Thursday in the Senate, he clarified that “suspensions or acts in the amparos that have already caused a state are not going to be revoked. And this, we believe that it must be established expressly in the precept.”
The General Coordinator of Policy and Government, raised to the members of the Chamber of Deputies to change the writing of the transitory first article, because that precept does not have enough clarity and has given rise to an unnecessary debate and certain criticisms, disqualifications and also legitimate concerns.
Separately, the coordinator of the deputies of Morena, Ricardo Monreal, declared that he respects the accusations of former Minister Arturo Zaldívar about retroactivity in the application of the Amparo Law, and indicated that next week the minute will be discussed in San Lázaro.
He recalled that, from a day before, he said that the first transitory article will be corrected.
Meanwhile, Zaldívar explained that the senators made modifications to the presidential initiative on the Amparo Law that enriched the original document.
However, the transitory article they introduced indicates that “the issues that are in process to the entry into force of this decree will continue to be processed until its final resolution in accordance with the provisions established by this decree.”
That writing, he said, is not the clearest or most appropriate, and stressed that the ambiguity that opens the door to the interpretation must be eliminated, so it must be written in a “clear and forceful” way that “the stages prior to the entry into force of the reform are not touched, and this only to the future to make the amparo trial more igil and take advantage of the advantages of the reform”.
The Amparo Law, he explained, is essentially of procedural order, that is, understanding that the processes are made up of different acts and stages that are regulated by this type of laws. That is, the processes are not exhausted in a single act, they go with a series of successive acts and actions.
The former president of the Supreme Court considered that at present, the country is at a stage in which the laws must be written in a pedagogical way, beyond technicalities, to be more understandable and is what is required in this case.
Therefore, the suggestion to the legislators that are also said that, according to the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, the procedural actions subsequent to the entry into force of this decree of reforms will be governed by the new provisions, without implying retroactive application or affectation to acquired rights.
Meanwhile, from his social networks, the Senator of Morena Manuel Huerta Ladrón de Guevara, who presented the reserve that gave retroactive character to the new provisions of the Amparo Law, early this Thursday, said that his intention was not affecting rights already acquired from citizens, but closing the door to the use of the guarantee trial “as a dilatory appeal, especially in the amparo trial.
“I am a constitutionalist and make it clear that, of course, not retroactivity.”
