The Senate will no longer send to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) the notification announced last week to dismiss the amparo trials, unconstitutionality actions and other instruments that dispute the judicial reform; Now he is waiting for what the ministers decide this Tuesday, to announce the action that will be followed.
The president of that Chamber, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, explained that regardless of the ruling of the ministers, the election of judges will take place. He stressed that the declinations of those magistrates and judges who occupy a position that will be up for voting until 2027 will not be accepted.
At a press conference, the PT member reported that he withdrew the instruction he had given to the legal area to present the aforementioned notification to the Court, because the next day Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá “was already saying that he was going to pass it on.” ‘save the part’, which had already finished the instruction; and what is that? “They haven’t determined yet.”
He highlighted that the Constitution contains the dismissal of everything that the Court is about to review this Tuesday, “but again, a minister, echoing that block, says: ‘the Constitution is us. The supreme power is us. We are the ones in charge in this country. What audacity for a handful of ministers of the Court who were indirectly elected to say that they are above the sovereign and the Executive and Legislative Branches, and the constitutional 135, which establishes who makes changes to the Constitution.”
He maintained that once the SCJN resolves the unconstitutionality actions, Morena and its allies will have a response. In fact, he said that they have already thought about what to do, but we are not going to advance it, it would be naive because it would also be speculating; Why do we speculate, let’s wait, and when I say let’s wait, it’s because things continue their course and if they try to change the course of things we will respond.

He reported that of the 487 magistrates who decided not to participate in the election of judges, 227 occupy positions that will be voted on in 2027, so their decline is not appropriate. Of the rest, 232 occupy places that go to the 2025 elections, and 28 did not specify.
As for the judges, 201 refused to go to the 2025 election, in 22 cases their decision was not detailed, while 110 who presented their decline correspond to the 2027 electoral process.
Fernández Noroña pointed out that these numbers have to do with misinformation and because in the The Judiciary told them that if they did not decline from now on we were not going to pay them their retirement according to the income they have now, and that is false, their retirement will be respected based on the salary they have today
.
Even those who participate and do not win will have their retirement respected based on their current salary.
