Christian Nodal fails in legal attempt against the initiative known as the Cazzu Law
Singer Christian Nodal attempted to halt the potential effects of the legislative proposal popularly known as the Cazzu Law through an amparo appeal. However, the Judiciary dismissed his request, clarifying that, as it is merely an initiative and not an enacted law, there is no act of authority that can be challenged.
The Mexican artist not only sought judicial protection, but also took legal action against federal deputy Ernesto Núñez, who is one of the main promoters of this measure. However, the legal action did not prosper due to the preventive nature of the legislative process.
What did the legislator respond to Nodal’s lawsuit?
Ernesto Núñez was surprised by the interpreter’s reaction and clarified that his work as a legislator is to present proposals for the benefit of society. During an interview, the deputy stressed that the initiative seeks to protect fundamental rights and is not aimed at attacking any specific public figure.
I find it completely outdated, since we deputies have that right to present initiatives. It is not a law as such, it is a proposal that is being reviewed and that has great support, mainly from women. It strikes me as very interesting that this issue irritates the singer so much; at the end of the day it is not against him, it is against all people who act in that way.

The authorities’ position on the amparo
For her part, Congresswoman Sandra Arreola, who is also a pioneer of this project in Mexico, agreed that the singer’s action lacks legal basis at this stage of the process. Arreola emphasized that one cannot claim an impairment when the law has not yet been approved or enacted.
- The initiative seeks to prevent parents who do not fulfill their child support obligations or who are absent from blocking their children’s mobility procedures.
- The proposal has gained ground not only in Mexico, but has also been raised in countries such as Colombia, Argentina, and Chile.
- Judicial authorities have reiterated that, as there is no consolidated act of authority, no amparo (injunction) is appropriate at this time.
Nodal’s legal team sought to anticipate the potential effects of this regulation, but the judicial system has closed the door on their request, maintaining the normal course of the legislative process that seeks to guarantee the well-being of minors in situations of family dispute.
