In less than 12 hours, 10 local congresses endorse “constitutional supremacy”

In less than 12 hours, 10 local congresses approved the ruling of legislative supremacy, which establishes the unchallengeability of constitutional additions or reforms.

Oaxaca, Campeche, Mexico City, Zacatecas, Quintana Roo, Hidalgo, Nayarit, Sonora, Tabasco and Tamaulipas have been the states that have endorsed the ruling.

Later, during Thursday morning, other legislatures such as those of Morelos, Guerrero and Chiapas, voted in favor of the minute.

For a constitutional reform to be enacted, it must be approved by at least 17 local congresses.

Early this Thursday, October 31, the 66th local legislature of Hidalgo became the seventh to approve by a qualified majority the reform endorsed by the Congress of the Union to articles 105 and 107 of the Magna Carta in favor of the so-called ” constitutional supremacy.”

With 24 votes in favor, five against and the absence of legislator María Guadalupe Cruz Montaño, of the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM), the opinion was approved by the Congress of Hidalgo around 01:00 in the morning, then two hours of discussion.

Those who voted in favor were the 16 deputies from Morena, the four from the New Alliance Party of Hidalgo (Panalh), the two from the Labor Party (PT) and one of the two from the PVEM (the multi-member legislator Cruz Montaño did not attend the session), as well as the only deputy that the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) has.

Against, two from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI); two others from the Citizen Movement (MC) and Claudia Lilia Luna from the National Action Party (PAN).

For the approval of the opinion, a qualified majority was required, that is, at least two-thirds of the legislature, that is, 20 votes, but in the end 24 were reached.

The deputies who voted in favor of “constitutional supremacy” showed signs with the legends “dignity”, “Mexican humanism”, and others. Those from the PAN, PRI and MC brought out banners that said: “Herod’s Law.”

Prior to the vote, the legislators who endorsed the ruling, from the gallery of the chamber, defended the initiative under the argument that the only thing sought is to reiterate what the Amparo Law says in its article 61, which prohibits the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) to issue these types of appeals against constitutional reforms.

Oaxacan Congress also approves it

With two extraordinary sessions held at 6 a.m. this Thursday, the Congress of the state of Oaxaca also endorsed the so-called “constitutional supremacy”, this with a unanimous vote of 38 votes.

Although the local legislature is made up of 41 popular representatives, three of them were absent from the session held via videoconference, missing the PRD members Víctor Raúl Hernández López and Angélica Rocío Melchor Vázquez, in addition to the Morenista Sesul Bolaños.

The first extraordinary session was convened at 6 a.m. this Thursday, in which the seventh extraordinary period of sessions was opened, after which the opinion sent by the Congress of the Union was presented in first reading, after a 7-minute session and 46 seconds it concluded and gave way to a second one, which lasted 21 minutes and 30 seconds, as Morenoist deputies took the floor to highlight the importance of this reform.

In the session – which endorsed the constitutional modifications and which establish the inadmissibility of the amparo trial against constitutional additions or reforms – the PRI deputies Lizbeth Concha, Fredy Gil Pineda Gopar and Luis Eduardo Rojas participated, who voted in favor of the reform.

With majority in Chiapas

With 32 votes in favor and five against, the Chiapas Congress approved the constitutional supremacy reform this Thursday, making it the twelfth legislature to endorse it, reported the Morenoist deputy, Juan Salvador Camacho Velasco.

He said that the session was called at 8 in the morning and the rule was approved after a debate in the gallery between the five opposition legislators (3 from the PRI, 1 from the PAN and 1 from the Citizen Movement) and the Morenistas and their allies.

In a telephone interview, he pointed out that the five opposition deputies spoke against it, arguing that “it is a black day for Mexico and that democracy is being killed,” in addition to ensuring that the division of powers is being destroyed.

He stated that he and several other deputies from Morena and the allied parties took the stand to defend the reform.
