The amnesty law is approved by the Senate 

Morena Senator Ricardo Monreal

is into adrenaline rushes. A large part of the opposition argued against the Amnesty Law until the end, as they considered it as an order issued by the President to the Senate and raised the possibility of not having enough quorum to allow its approval. Amid that scenario, Monreal made things happen and approved the law, which was also a promise made by López Obrador during his presidential campaign. Now, the amnesty law could help to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 contagions inside Mexican prisons .
