Mexico City.- With the presence of Minister Lenia Batres, the Justice Commission was installed in the Chamber of Deputies, which will be the body in charge of ruling on the secondary laws of the judicial reform proposed by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
The Justice Commission is the first commission to be installed in San Lázaro more than a month after the start of the current regular period of sessions. He must receive the minutes of the secondary laws that the Senate will approve this Thursday and rule on them in the coming days, so that the reform is discussed and endorsed by the Plenary next Monday.
Present as guests at the installation were Minister Lenia Batres; Rafael Guerra Álvarez, presiding magistrate of the Judiciary in Mexico City; Jorge Antonio Martínez, magistrate of the Administrative Justice Court; Evelyn Parra, Mayor of Venustiano Carranza, and Judge Carlos Humberto Rosas Franco, representing the presidency of the Administrative Justice Court. The formal declaration of installation was made by the president of the Commission, the Morenoist Julio César Moreno, who warned that it has the enormous task of making judicial reform viable and demonstrating that it is possible to implement a new model of protection of rights. freedoms and aspirations of citizens.
He recognized that the reform involves complex challenges, such as the transformation of the local Judiciary, the strengthening of Public Defender’s Offices and the improvement of the rights of those who work in the Judiciary, as well as judges and magistrates.
Given this, he called on his peers to carry out a high-level debate to build consensus. The Emecista Juan Zavala asked that the Commission take time to discuss the secondary laws of the reform which, he stated, is one of the most important in recent years. “I hope and I come here with that hope, that we take the time to listen to the workers, to the workers of the Judiciary, to the judges, magistrates, magistrates (), I hope that here it is different from the process that We have seen that it has been carried out in the Senate of the Republic, that it has been a sloppy procedure, full of errors, full of haste,” he said. PRI member Alejandro Domínguez recalled that Morena responsibly, but late, recognized various errors and inconsistencies in the drafting of the constitutional reform in judicial matters, so the role of the Commission will be fundamental to identify the parts that should be modified. “Let us always take advantage of the recognition of these errors in a joint effort and in unity to review, for the Mexicans, all the sections that must be qualified in the Constitution, as well as the initiatives to reform secondary laws, let us not commit the historical errors of putting political or ideological criteria first to achieve a hasty reform, full of inconsistencies and vices of unconstitutionality,” he said. PAN member César Israel Damián Retes called for the Commission to be a space to seek justice and not a battlefield for partisan interests. “Today we are called here to represent everyone, yes, we recognize that there is a majority that was built with 36 million votes, but there was also an electoral roll that reached 100 million votes. Today we must represent all of the 120 million Mexican men and women, we must always put them at the center of reflection for decision-making,” he indicated. The Morenista Olga Sánchez Cordero recognized that the role of judges is not easy, so it is important to see who are the ones who reach these positions. “Today the reform is a reality, those who are going to be voted, their profiles, honest people, trained people, professional people,” he said. Meanwhile, Minister Lenia Batres warned that the challenge of democratizing the Judiciary is a very strong challenge for the country. “I believe that the challenge as a whole is very strong, because democratization does not only imply the election of ministers, male and female magistrates, male and female judges, but also of articulating this entire system of controls that the reform itself provides for and that is part of of the very democratization of the Judiciary, the financial, administrative, jurisdictional controls, well, the very control of public scrutiny, which has also implied mechanisms of transparency in which the plenary session of the Supreme Court itself must function,” he said. He added that these are issues that must be established in various laws, fundamentally in the Organic Law of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, in addition to the fact that the functioning of the Plenary Session itself, which is going to replace that of the Chambers, implies a functional challenge that probably must achieve a reform of the Amparo Law. The Minister spoke in favor of a second part of the reform in matters of justice so that it is not only an organizational transfer, but that there is progress in other issues related to the operation of the Prosecutor’s Offices and with the mechanisms of access to formal justice and social justice. “It is very important to create access mechanisms but, in addition, generate useful instruments to solve not only individual problems, but also think about social problems and I think that this is a very difficult challenge, because we have few legislative precedents in this regard, not only in Mexico but in the world,” he stated. Faced with this task, I call on the Commission to listen to the different voices that are in the Judiciary and outside it.
