Lawmakers from Morena and its allies warned that the recent agreement of the Federal Judicial Council (CJF) that seeks to guarantee part of the millionaire additional pensions that judges and magistrates receive makes no sense, since the judicial reform about to come into force eliminates the trusts from which those retirement benefits were paid.
This is a tactic of the members of the Judicial Branch, through the CJF, who, even with the evidence that the reform is about to be published in the Official Journal of the Federationare seeking at all costs to guarantee their complementary lifelong retirement, agreed Senators Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín and Saúl Monreal and former Morena deputy Hamlet García Almaguer, members of the commissions that ruled on this initiative of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Ramírez Marín, from the PVEM, commented that he would like to review in detail that agreement of the CJF –which The Day reported– considers that It is a somewhat late reaction, because once the reform is approved and published, all trusts are absolutely extinct and they will no longer be able to get anything out of them.
.
He considered that instead of resorting to these actions, which in the end will prove to be dubious and unsafe to apply, the CJF and the Judiciary should start the transition tables to ensure that the tenth transitory article, which guarantees its workers receive what is legally due to them, is scrupulously complied with.
–Could the heads of courts and tribunals receive these pensions in addition to those that the ISSSTE will give them?
–No. They will receive the amounts that correspond to them by law, which are those that the ISSSTE would grant them and which are not insignificant, in addition to the recognition of their acquired rights.
He explained that the bases of operation of the reform are in the Magna Carta, but in the secondary legislation, which must be approved shortly, the way of applying the provisions will be defined, including the tenth transitory article, which guarantees the rights of the base workers of courts, tribunals and the Supreme Court of the Nation (SCJN).
García Almaguer commented that there are bad faith
at the CFJ in an attempt to secure the privileges of judges and magistrates just hours before the reform comes into force. Meanwhile, Saúl Monreal commented that it is evident that the main concern of judges and magistrates is to retire with a large pension and to do so soon.
