The Senate Plenary Hall will be subjected to a series of adjustments and changes in order to adapt it for the solemn session of the next September 1, when the 881 judges, magistrates and ministers elected by the popular vote on June 1 will protest.
For that reason, the three sessions that remain to the Permanent Commission will be carried out in the old headquarters of Xicoténcatl, in the historic center, said Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Chamber.
This solemn session has been planned in detail, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the reform and insurgent enclosure and some trials are planned next week. Each judge can be accompanied at least one relative in the plenary hall and analyzes place chairs and a screen in the patio so that the attendees follow the ceremony while its turn arrives.
The protest surrender will be done in stages: first the nine ministers of the Supreme Court, the two magistrates of the Superior Chamber, the 15 of Regional Rooms of the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) and the five of the Court of Judicial Discipline.
As soon as they jur play loyal and patriotically
the position for which they were elected and keep the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and the laws that emanate
they will go up to the senatorial plenary to receive their record, the photo will be taken and will leave the room to allow the entry of the other judges, who are the majority, 852 between magistrates and judges, so it is planned that the session concludes in the early hours of September 2.
While the modifications are carried out, the plenary hall will remain closed.
In fact, yesterday, activities were suspended at two in the afternoon throughout the enclosure, since maintenance was carried out to the electrical and transformative substation that operates in that camera.
For these tasks, energy was cut in the Reform and Insurgente building, and electricity and internet services, telephony, and computer systems will be restored “intermittently until next Monday.
From that day the trials will resume to ensure that the session of September 1, toral part of the judicial reform, will be carried out without any setback.
