According to journalistic versions, the minister told the secretary that the Judiciary also has times and priorities.
This would be a sign that the tense relationship that prevailed between López Obrador and the former president of the Court, Arturo Zaldívar, would not continue in his presidency.
For Octavio Martínez Camacho, Doctor of Law from the Institute of Legal Research of the UNAM, the minister has already outlined that They won’t be that close with the President of the Republic and who will defend autonomy.
“Norma Piña’s is a presidency that will seek autonomy, will seek to avoid questions about whether the decisions she makes, at least as president, may or may not be influenced by the Executive Power. The distance that she is taking is not because she has something against the president, but to retake the autonomy of the Judiciary”, she affirmed.
From the National Palace, what has prevailed are questions about Piña’s work. In a press conference, López Obrador affirmed that since Norma Piña came to the Presidency “there are more illegal acts in that power.”
“Now that Mrs. Piña won and that we supposedly lost, as if it mattered to us that we were submitting powers, as it was before, as they were used to, well now We are noticing that there are more acts that we consider illegal and unfair against the public interest”, said the president, on January 20.
And there has been more criticism of the president of the Court. On January 26, the president recommended to the minister start by fighting corruption in the judiciary.
“I remember that yesterday they told me that the president of the Supreme Court spoke that the entire anti-corruption system had to be reactivated; Well, let it start with the Judiciary, it has a lot of work, with all due respect,” he said last Thursday.
The president had as one of his favorite candidates to occupy the presidency of the Court, precisely Yasmín Esquivel, a piece that he himself pushed for the Court to arrive.
The president rejected that he is going to meet with the minister soon, as he did with some regularity with Arturo Zaldívar, a minister to whom he and the Morena legislators, they tried to get him to extend his presidency until 2024 , with the argument that only he could lead the transformation of that power.
“Not now, not now, we don’t have any need (to meet), there is no agreement to discuss, what we have with the Court as a special issue is Ayotzinapa,” he said.
