“The unconstitutionality action is presented, because it is rather a reform in electoral matters so that judges and magistrates are voted directly by the citizens. Furthermore, since these processes are organized by the National Electoral Institute and qualified by the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the reform of the Judicial Branch really hides an electoral one,” he indicated.
The PAN explained that it challenges the violations of the legislative process to discuss and vote on the Judicial Reform, such as the lack of compliance with suspensions issued by judges who ordered the legislative process to cease, the lack of truthful identification of those who participated during the session, the illegality in the installation of bodies in the Senate and the “atypical and illegal fast track” in the approval of state congresses.
The government of Guanajuato also presented a constitutional controversy against the Judicial Reform. This challenge was presented by PAN member Diego Sinhué Rodríguez on September 26, which was the last day he was as state leader.
To resolve this conflict, the matter was turned over to Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara to prepare the draft of the matter and then vote on it in the Plenary Session of the SCJM.
These challenges have nothing to do with the SCJN’s decision to analyze the constitutionality of the Judicial Reform.
