Opposition presses to impeach ministers, says Sheinbaum

Mexico City. After progress in the approval of constitutional supremacy, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo asked the opposition to calm down because “they are provoking us,” they want her to impeach ministers. That is what they want, and we are not going to do it even though they are violating the Constitution.

He asked the ministers to remember their classes and called on them to review that the Court itself recognizes in “many documents”, in accordance with constitutional article 133, that the Magna Carta is the supreme law.

Furthermore, he recalled that in 2013, the PRIAN incorporated article 61, paragraph one, into the Amparo Law, which is now part of the Magna Carta, which establishes that amparo does not proceed against constitutional reforms. Eight ministers, he stressed, “cannot be above the people, that is what constitutional 39 says.”

“It is not being violated, what we are doing is republican. It is within the Constitution, it is part of our rule of law,” he highlighted in the morning of the town.

The president pointed out that the ministers want her to impeach them, because “they are taking a non-legal political position against the people of Mexico and in favor of certain interest groups and their own interests.”

In the midst of the attacks he receives due to the advance of Constitutional Supremacy – which is expected today to be approved by the required local congresses, to be published in the Official Gazette of the Federation -, he exhibited in the morning of the town that the Court itself ” “It says in a lot of documents,” as does the Faculty of Law, that the Magna Carta is the maximum law.

He pointed out that he obtained this information after starting to Google yesterday about what constitutional supremacy means. “It seems like it is an offense, but what’s new about that if it is the maximum law.”

He stressed that the opposition has been raising the issue of supremacy as if it were something new or something bad. All of us who study, even if it is not law, know that the Constitution is the maximum law, the one that establishes all secondary laws.”

And he highlighted that it was former Minister Olga Sánchez Cordero in Congress, who explained that the article that is now being questioned (61, number one, of the Amparo Law) was a modification of the PRIAN, of the same ones that are now against .

“In 2013 it was valid because it was the energy reform, which privatized Pemex and CFE, which took away Mexicans’ public companies, but not now, because it is in favor of the people.”

He assured that the opposition is full of contradictions, and asked to wait for the Court’s vote on the project of Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, next week. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”

He criticized that the minister now questions even the expenses in the National Palace. “To begin with, I still do not live in the National Palace, and second, it has its own budget to preserve this historical monument of all Mexicans. We would be wrong not to allocate resources for this.

She noted that her expenses and those of her husband, when they move, will be covered with her salary as president.

“Calm down, calm down,” he asked his detractors and displayed the heart-shaped Popocatépetl fumarole. “Love and peace,” he added.

The president stressed that all Mexicans should know the Constitution, not just experts, constitutionalists, and lawyers. It is what governs us as Mexicans.”
