Regardless of whether or not the president of the Federal Judiciary Council (CJF) and the Court, Norma Piña, delivers the list with the total number of positions in the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF), the vacancies and retirements, the Senate The call for the election of judges, ministers and magistrates will be issued on the 16th, as established by the constitutional reform on the matter, warned the vice coordinator of Morena, Ignacio Mier.

Likewise, the vice president of the board of directors of that Chamber, Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín (PVEM), regretted those subterfuges and threats to twist the Constitution to which Norma Piña has resorted to prevent the election of the judges from taking place.

Both legislators indicated that the Senate will collect on its own the data that the CJF refuses to deliver and what is ordered in the Magna Carta will be complied with. The call will be issued in a timely manner; We are going to respect what the Constitution orders usstressed Mier. We are not going to renounce what was approved by the Permanent Constituent Assembly or give up, because we would be incurring contempt.

The second transitory article of the judicial reform, he explained, gives the Senate a period of 30 calendar days, after the entry into force of that order, to issue the call and integrate the lists with the candidates to participate in the extraordinary election in June. of 2025. The deadline expires on the 16th, and there will be a call.

Lament the nonsense that Minister Piña has incurred by admitting to the Court queries to review the constitutionality of the judicial reform, and from her dual role as president of the CJF, delay the delivery of a list with all the positions of judgesincluding resignations, vacancies, scheduled retirements and other information requested”, as ordered in that same second transitional article.

Mier recalled that to the letter sent to him by the president of the board of directors, Gerardo Fernández Noroña (Morena), on September 18, Piña responded until the 26th of that month that the 15-day period he had to send the information had not expired. , and this Friday he leaked a letter, which has not reached the Senate, where he maintains that next Wednesday they will discuss an injunction against providing that data.

They are subterfuges and tricks to prevent the reform from advancing, but it will not work for them.he added.

For his part, Ramírez Marín made it clear that The Senate will strictly comply with the supreme law, with or without the Courtbut in the second case We would be entering a very negative and unhealthy scenario for the institutional life of the country..

The data will be gathered and the call issued, he added, and considered it a wrong attitude on the part of Piña to prevent compliance with the Constitution. It cannot be that when someone is in a position of power, when they do not like a provision they seek to evade it or twist it..
