The National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges (Jufed) agreed to maintain the strike in all organs of the Judicial Branch of the Federation.
In a statement, it reported that At a meeting of its national and regional boards, listening to the dialogue committee, it unanimously agreed to extend the suspension of activities
.
The association, headed by Judge Juana Fuentes Velázquez, said that reiterates its rejection of the so-called judicial reform and its conviction to resort to the legal defense mechanisms it deems necessary
.
The Jufed did not specify what actions its members will take or whether new blockades will be organized in protest against the approval of the amendment in the Congress of the Union and in more than 20 local legislatures.
At the time of going to press, the organizations that group together base workers and judicial officials who collaborate with judges and magistrates, such as the organization Circuitos Unidos, have not announced their decision on whether to maintain the strike or return to work, although spokesperson Patricia Aguayo said that a vote will be taken to determine what actions they will carry out.
Interviewed after a group of employees held two demonstrations, one at the Mexican Stock Exchange and another in front of the United States embassy facilities on Paseo de la Reforma, Aguayo, who works as secretary in the tenth collegiate court on labor matters, admitted that There are divided opinions, because I myself have spoken with my colleagues, but here we have to determine how many want to return to their work and how many want to extend this activity until October 2.
.
Likewise, PJF employees from Chihuahua, Guerrero and Oaxaca demonstrated yesterday in rejection of the promulgation of the reform.
In Ciudad Juárez, around 50 workers interrupted traffic for an hour on the Córdova-Américas international bridge.
In Acapulco, Guerrero, they indicated that they will continue to suspend work until Claudia Sheinbaum takes office. In Oaxaca, dozens of protesters marched in the capital and warned that their fight will last as long as necessary.
