The judicial reform of 2021, published on March 11, 2021, according to one of its promoters, the then Justice Arturo Zaldívar, has been the most transcendental reform since 1994. Although the reform proposed the modification of six articles of de Constitution, as well as the issuance and modification of the primary legislation, the analysis of its content does not reveal a substantial or different change to the constitutional reforms after 1994. In this order, we analyzed the scope of mexican judicial reform 2021 with a particular focus on the general declaration of unconstitutionality based on the empirical evidence of its exercise confirming that, despite the adjustments it remains a limited, rigid and even disjointed in relation to other mechanism of constitutionality control and of protection of rights.
