After the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), Norma Piña, opened a consultation against the judicial reform related to an appeal filed by judges and magistrates to challenge the constitutional modification, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador yesterday called lawyers, judges and ministers to act responsibly
and stop affecting the Judiciary
.
López Obrador reiterated at his daily press conference at the National Palace that there is no legal basis to reverse a reform approved by the Legislature and pointed out that attempts to stop it from the Judiciary are arbitrary actions. to defend privileges without taking into account the Constitution
.
It has already been said enough that there is no legal basis for stopping a constitutional reform, because it is the exclusive power of the Legislative Power, it is its reason for being if all the procedures established by the Constitution and the laws are complied with. Not only lawyers should know this, but, and with more reason, the judicial authorities.
said the president in response to questions on the subject.
The only thing I would recommend is that they stop affecting the Judiciary, which they continue to deteriorate.
he said.
That is what ends up convincing those who had doubts, that completely arbitrary behavior, without legal basis, how they act to defend privileges without taking into account the Constitution, the laws, seeking to overstep their boundaries in something that does not concern them.
he stressed.
That has nothing to do with a genuine state of law, that is reaffirming that they wanted the permanence of a crooked state. I hope they calm down and act responsibly.
said the head of the Executive.
