Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies approved on Wednesday (4) the reform of the Judiciary proposed by the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The text now goes to the Senate for discussion.
The approval “in particular” — evaluating specific articles — occurred just hours after Mexican deputies approved “in general” the reform of the Judiciary.
This proposal was approved by 357 votes in favor, 130 against and zero abstentions. The general vote was approved with 359 votes in favor, 135 against and zero abstentions. Both votes achieved a qualified majority.
The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies began at 4:10 pm local time on Tuesday (3) and the session ended at 9:37 am this Wednesday (4).
The discussion of the reform now moves to the Senate, where approval by committees is also required, and then to the plenary in general and in particular by qualified majority (three quarters).
If the Senate approves the text, the judicial reform will have to be approved by half of the country’s local Congresses. If this occurs, the judicial reform will be reflected in the Constitution.
