To an express question, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said that there are relatives to former Public Security Secretary Genaro García Luna – prisoner in the United States for bonds with drug trafficking – in the list of aspiring judges who sent the Supreme Court of Justice to the Senate, after the extinction of the Evaluation Committee of the Judiciary.
In the list There are very controversial characters that were sent by the Court, and for what I understand almost they already sent the names of those who are going to participate, without the need for the selection requested by the Court (electoral of the Judicial Power of the Federation)
he said.
He indicated that yesterday they sent him an informative note on the subject, and yesterday they would explain about what the Court sent to the Senate, but said that it or those who integrated the aforementioned committee are obliged to explain. “They are not the 3 thousand celebrities that had been talked about – in reference to those who originally registered with that committee – are much less.”
We will have to “ask the Court: what happened from the 3 thousand who published those who sent? Because, supposedly, the work of that commission had been suspended, right?
“Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña accused that there are people close to García Luna and is promoting them the president of the Court,” she mentioned her in her usual morning press conference.
–Yes, so, I say that we must first inform us well, as always; Then, that the Court or the Commission explains, although (the latter) already resigned, when in reality they no longer had work.
Not that they were no longer working? So what happened to send these names? And, well, what the Senate decides
he said.
