Murguía maintained that it also goes against what is established in article 105 of the Constitution, which states that electoral laws – both federal and local – must be promulgated and published at least 90 days before the electoral process in which they begin begins. are going to be applied.
“It breaks the fundamental principle that every electoral process that is in the 105th constitutional, where before the electoral process begins 90 days before modifications cannot be made to the laws, laws cannot be issued, well this process of electing magistrate judges begins on September 16 and it has been in an improvised manner without legal certainty how the situation has been resolved,” mentioned the PAN member.
These secondary laws are made up of the general laws of the System of Means of Challenge in Electoral Matters and of Electoral Institutions and Procedures. The modification was to 69 laws.
The General Law of the System of Means of Challenges in Electoral Matters establishes when an election of judges of the Judicial Branch of the Federation is annulled, while the General Law of Electoral Institutions and Procedures emphasizes that the ministers of the SCJN, magistrates of the Superior Chamber or the regional chambers of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, as well as the magistrates of the Judicial Disciplinary Court and judges of District Courts, will be elected by direct vote.
The PAN members questioned whether it is not contradictory to present protections against these secondary laws, when the former legislator of their party, Roberto Gil Zuarth, will participate in the process to be minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), the senators of that party responded that this was a personal decision.
“Roberto Gil’s decision is an individual decision and is not a party decision. In the PAN we did not talk to him, he decided to leave and it is not a party issue. We are not going to endorse that any PAN member is making statements for the party, if they are going to make statements they are unilateral,” said vice coordinator Enrique Vargas.
