In a decisive move, Mexico's lower house of Congress has approved a constitutional reform that deems amendments to the constitution "unchallengeable." This landmark decision reflects a significant shift driven by the ruling Morena party and its allies as they advance multiple constitutional changes.

The reform, which includes a controversial overhaul of the judiciary, underscores the government's intent to reshape the nation's legal landscape profoundly. The Senate had previously passed the measure, setting the stage for the congressional vote.

Receiving 340 votes in favor, 133 against, and one abstention, the decision highlights deep political divisions as Mexico embarks on this historic constitutional transformation, with far-reaching implications yet to unfold.
