Last Sunday, September 22, those dissatisfied with the reform, which subjects the election of judges, ministers and magistrates to a popular vote, protested at an event held by the president at Casa Juárez in Puerto de Veracruz.
In addition to receiving him with shouts of “Dictator, dictator,” the protesters threw a bottle of water at him, which the federal president managed to dodge.
A day later, during his daily press conference, López Obrador said that these protests are carried out by people angry because there will no longer be corruption in the Judiciary and added that there will be no “persecution” against those responsible for throwing the bottle.
I understand that they are angry, that they are upset. For this very reason, they would like nothing to change, conservatism comes from preserving, from maintaining the status quo; but that is no longer possible, and their anger will go away,”
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico
On September 23, for the second day in a row, López Obrador faced protests against him. On this occasion, workers from the Judicial Branch of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, demonstrated at the event where he and the president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum unveiled a bust in honor of Catarino Erasmo Garza Rodríguez, a 19th century revolutionary, considered a hero by the President. whose remains he ordered to be located in Panama.
There, once again, the judicial employees shouted at him “Dictator! Dictator!”, “It is not an honor to be with a dictator!” and “Without color, without party, justice has been served.”
