Mexico City.- Of the 70 suspensions that judges have granted to stop the organization of the election of ministers, magistrates and judges in June 2025, the INE has only received nine notifications.
Most of them warn that, if they do not do so, there will be sanctions of 3 to 9 years in prison, a fine of 50 to 500 days, dismissal and disqualification of 3 to 9 years from holding another public position, job or commission.
Last week, the president of the organization, Guadalupe Taddei, assured that once they were notified they would make a decision. However, the councilors have not met to debate the issue, despite the fact that the notifications give the INE a period of 24 and 48 hours to respond.
In all the documents that have reached the Institute’s Office of Parties, the request is for a provisional or definitive suspension that guarantees that:
“The General Council of the National Electoral Institute refrains from Implementing the Extraordinary Electoral Process 2024-2025, nor does it issue agreements for the organization, development, calculation, surveillance and supervision of the extraordinary electoral process of the year 2025.” For example, the Fourteenth District Court for Administrative Matters in Mexico City also orders the Chamber of Deputies not to make adjustments to the federal laws of the reform of the Judiciary, which would have to be in place before December. While local Legislatures are required to refrain from adapting their constitutions. “The above, until the definitive suspension of the acts claimed in the present incident is resolved. “Under warning that if not done within the period granted for this purpose, a penalty of three to nine years in prison, a fine of 50 to 500 days, dismissal and disqualification of three to nine years from holding another public position, employment or commission,” it indicates. The notifications argue that the suspension protects the constitutional principles of progressivity, retroactivity, access to justice, legal certainty , judicial autonomy and independence, as well as “the division of Powers and the Republic.” Other notifications only order that the reform does not apply to certain judges. The Ninth District Court in Morelos covers five district magistrates. The magistrates and the magistrate who acquired the right to tenure in accordance with the previous Constitutional provision, the new norm that proscribes that right, as well as to have a non-decreasable remuneration, the latter would be applied retroactively to their detriment in contravention of the provisions by article 14 of the constitution. “That the complainants are not removed from their position, nor changed from the bodies to which they are assigned, due to the requested reform, nor are they included in the list that the Senate must send to the National Electoral Institute,” the suspension indicates. In other notifications, the judges launch harsh criticism of the electoral reform, pointing out that it is supposedly based on attacks of hatred and discredit, and violates the human dignity of the judges, as it describes them all as “corrupt.”
“For this reason, when there is an impact on the dignity (honor) of the defendants, as it is a human right inherent to the person, it must be subject to greater protection and guarantee by the State,” warns another judge from Colima. .
