Regardless of whether the judges and magistrates return to work next Monday, that does not mean that they will conclude or abandon the protest against the judicial reform, because it continues to be unjust and therefore the workers and heads of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF) will always reserve the right to continue against it; that is the space that the legislators left us
stated judges Adriana Ortega Ortiz, Juan José Olvera López and José Rogelio Alanís García.
The three magistrates who lead the call judges’ morning conference
They said that beyond the fact that the Legislative Branch has indicated that President Claudia Sheinbaum is not obliged to eliminate from the Official Gazette of the Federation the decree reforming the Judiciary, as ordered by a district judge, indicated that “in the end she is responsible and the fact that another branch thinks that she has no problem is just an opinion, it does not separate her from her procedural responsibility ( …) she is the defendant, she has to answer before the judge.”
They expressed that It’s an unsolved mystery
the co-payment of compensation to judges and magistrates who decide not to compete in the popular election or lose in the electoral process; indicated that in the reform a transitional article was established that must defined, so that it remains perfectly concrete. Compensations do not restore life projects
.
They pointed out that there is no division between the judges and magistrates who decide to participate in the popular election process in 2025.
What our colleagues did is take one of the alternatives that the reform gives them and that we have those of us who came out in this first blow, which is 2025, and those who will come out in the second, which is 2027, which is to submit to the popular election or we decline to participate in it.
It is “personal complexities that lead you to a decision (…) it would be very disrespectful to describe personal decisions as judges. We wish you luck in the election. In reality, we are sure that these people come from a judicial career and will be professional judges, we hope that the citizens understand this and that they are lucky,” said Adriana Ortega Ruiz.
