No only the senate rejected acta, it was rejected almost unanimously, and by the three parties: PAN, PRD and PRI.
Not even President Calderon Party Supported and the senate forbid Calderon to continue any negotiations.
So this was signed against the senate by direct order from the president to the ambassador.
Elections are over, and a new Senate has been elected, so the old one can not act against a outgoing president.
But there is no chance the new senate approves the treaty, since it has already been rejected, and the new senators had already announced they will reject ACTA.
So this is an empty gesture, maybe after ACTA was rejected by the EU, they needed someone to sign it and somehow (?$$$?)put pressure on President Calderon...
I have no other explanation.
