In front of the Senate of the Republic, students from the Faculty of Law of UNAM, UAM, the Escuela Libre de Derecho and private institutions such as the Universidad Iberoamericana, ITAM, La Salle, among others, stated that as experts in the law, they can warn of the risks that exist in the violation of this power of the union.

They assured that, as in all historical social mobilizations, it will be the students and young people who will promote a national movement to defend the judiciary.
“This movement is dialogical, this movement will smooth out the rough edges that the opposition and the government have not managed to smooth out, we young people are ready to open the dialogue, We young people are ready to take the democratic situation into our own hands“said José Mario de la Garza, member of the Student and Youth Movement in Defense of the Judiciary.
In response to the statements of the president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, who asked young people and law students to “inform themselves” about the democratic benefits that the Judicial Reform would bring to the country, the students warned of the repercussions that these measures would have on judicial independence, which is why they said they were promoters of a new defense force of this power of union.
“It is not only UNAM, it is not only Ibero, it is not only Tec de Monterrey, it is not only the Free Law School, it is all of us who read and inform ourselves, because contrary to what the president-elect told us, We do read, we do inform ourselves,” said a student at the Faculty of Law of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
“We do read, we do inform ourselves” students respond to the statements of the president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, who recently called on those who protest against the Judicial Reform to study what the executive has proposed.

Since 2012, with the #YoSoy132 movement that emerged after student protests at the Universidad Iberoamericana against the then PRI presidential candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, there had not been a mobilization of students from public and private universities like the one that is now coming together to oppose the Judicial Reform.
“We students support the judiciary, young people and students are not manipulated, no one deceives us, we are not the promise of tomorrow, we are the latent present,” said De la Garza.
