The controller role of the parliamentary political opposition in the mexican states of exceptionality

Abstract

The paper presented starts from the hypothesis that the emergency management mechanisms, established in the Mexican Constitution, need the division of powers as their essential institution. But this is ineffective when it focuses on the confrontation between the Executive Power and the Legislative Power, although it acquires greater virtuality when it starts from the dialectic between parliamentary majority and minority. This is because, despite Mexican presidentialism, Congress has an essential role during the suspension of guarantees of art. 29 constitutional, since it is the Mexican Parliament that allows the granting of extraordinary powers and the suspension of guarantees. But the same does not happen in the mechanism of art. 73, constitutional section xvi.
