Before the resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) that validates amending articles of the amendment to the Electricity Industry Act in order to make the energy dispatch order in favor of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the Plural Parliamentary Group in the Senate of the Republic stated that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) took the shortest path to circumvent the Constitution.
Through a video posted on his Twitter account, Senator Gustavo Madero said that the federal president found the “way” to mock a constitutional reform, since he does not have the majority in Congress to approve his initiative in the energy sector.”
In the video of just over a minute and a half, the senator explained that President López Obrador went through the amparos to the Supreme Court, and with a minority of four votes, the Unconstitutional law may remain in force. “It takes eight votes and only seven have declared it unconstitutional,” he added.
The legislator recalled that this remedy was already used before by the federal president, when the question for the Revocation of Mandate was voted by four ministers who considered it constitutional to put two questions and seven ministers considered that it was not. “And what is going to happen? On April 10, there will be a ballot with two questions even if it is unconstitutional.”
“It took two thirds to pass the constitutional reform, but a simple majority in both Houses and four votes out of 11 are enough to declare that a law is constitutional even if it violates the Constitution, according to a majority of magistrates. That is the path that Q4 will follow to impose and circumvent the Constitution.”
