Zaldívar Calls for Adjustments to the Amparo Law Reform
The General Coordinator of Policy and Government of the Presidency, Arturo Zaldívar, called for modifying the Amparo Law reform currently being discussed in Congress to provide greater clarity regarding the retroactivity of its provisions. He recalled that constitutional Article 14 expressly prohibits the retroactive application of laws to the detriment of any individual.
Zaldívar acknowledged the senators’ intention to enrich the bill and emphasized that procedural laws, such as the Amparo Law, apply only to acts occurring after they enter into effect. However, he warned that the current wording may cause doubts and requested that it be clearly established that the prior stages constitute acquired rights and that only subsequent rulings will be governed by the new regulations.
“We are not in favor of any type of retroactivity; it is about making it understandable to the people,” he stressed.
