Anyone who speaks against the new Amparo Law by ensuring that there is retroactivity “is a liar,” said President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. “Either they deliberately lie or they simply have not read (the reform) and act according to instructions,” he said.
After approval in Congress, he asserted that the amparo trial will now be more expeditious and there will be more access to justice.
He stressed that money launderers, food and treasury debtors “have every right to all protection processes,” but they cannot have a provisional suspension in the event of a decision by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
But “they do have access later, as long as they deposit the resource they owe as a guarantee,” said the president.
In the morning of the town, Arturo Zaldívar, general coordinator of Politics and Government of the Presidency, stated, in turn, that there is “a misinformation campaign” in which “employees or lawyers of well-known tax debtors, or commentators allied to the old system of the union between the National Action and the Institutional Revolutionary parties, participate.”
Even judges or magistrates who “were affected by the judicial reform… And they deliberately lie” because “they do not know about the protection. It is very easy for them to simply disqualify. There is no retroactivity,” he highlighted.
One of those judges, he noted, dedicated himself to granting “general suspensions favoring foreign companies in energy matters, violating the law and causing a lot of damage to the country.”
Sheinbaum Pardo stated that critics of the reform “deliberately lie to tell people: ‘Look how authoritarian the President is, now she is modifying the fundamental right that we Mexicans had’, which is false.”
He stated that with the reform “the people of Mexico are being protected against any unjust act of authority; that does not change in the slightest, on the contrary, it is strengthened.”
She questioned that there are now “slogan commentators who, I am sure, have either not read the reform of the law or have already read it and are deliberately lying.”
He also assured that Fitch Ratings “are wrong,” pointing out that the reform of the Amparo Law could increase regulatory risk by limiting the ability of the courts to suspend administrative acts.
The new law “does not in any way go against investment; on the contrary, it makes the application of justice much more efficient.”
