Lower House Gives Final Approval To Judicial Reform, Moves To Senate

MEXICO
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletEmerging Market NewsPolitical Market News

As was widely expected, the Mexican Chamber of Deputies has given its final approval to the controversial judicial reform bill, sending the legislation on to the Senate. As noted in our earlier bullet (see 'MEXICO: Judicial Reform Progress Remains Key Focus for Markets', 1128BST) "The looming passage of the overhaul has paralysed the country's court system as judges and thousands of court workers have gone on strike and are working only on urgent cases."

  • An earlier vote (approved 359-135) saw the main provisions of the bill approved. Subsequent discussion has focused on amendments, but compared to the marathon 12-hour session to approve the initial reform package the second vote on modifications did not take long.
  • WaPo: "The vote was expected to be extremely tight in the Senate, though the president’s party looked poised to win over the single vote it lacked there. If passed by the Senate, the constitutional proposal would be sent to Mexico’s 32 state congresses where it must be approved by most of them. López Obrador’s party controls a majority of the states."
