Puebla Deputy proposes constitutional reform for indigenous rights

indigenous rights Puebla constitution Afro-Mexican communities legal reform self-determination

Deputy Pável Gaspar Ramírez has introduced an initiative to reform Article 13 of the Constitution of the State of Puebla. The proposal aims to align the state's constitution with federal laws regarding indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities.

The initiative seeks to recognize these groups as subjects of public law, granting them legal personality and their own assets. Key provisions include the recognition of indigenous normative systems and the jurisdiction exercised by community authorities. It also establishes the right to prior, free, informed, and culturally appropriate consultation regarding any legislative or administrative actions that may significantly impact their lives or environments.

Furthermore, the reform proposes protections for indigenous languages, the recognition of traditional medicine, and improved access to telecommunications and information technologies. It also mandates that state and municipal governments establish institutions and public policies, designed in collaboration with these communities, to ensure their integral and sustainable development while combating discrimination.
