Sumario: This paper studies the legal validity of the fast track constitutional amendments (FT). First, the work analyses the concept of legal validity and highlights the next notions:  membership, legal applicability and moral applicability of the legal rules. Later, the author argues that FT does not fulfill with two necessary validity conditions to constitutional amendments in Colombia: its democratic character and the constitutional rigidity. Lastly, it is concluded that FT only could claim moral applicability but in this sense FT are normatively irrelevant.
