That is why it is necessary to involve universities, bar associations, business chambers, research centers and citizens in general to, together, find solutions to the lack of justice in Mexico.”
Olea pointed out that the moment in Mexico is conducive to building a system of procurement and administration of justice that serves citizens.
“The lack of justice in Mexico involves a large number of actors, processes and weaknesses, so it is not possible to assign to a single body or power, which together we have not done during the last six years,” he indicated.
“This is a moment of change, let’s really take advantage of it to improve the justice system. Open and plural dialogue is the right way to find solutions to the problems that belong to all Mexicans.”
