Mexico City.- The leader of the Morena deputies, Ricardo Monreal, defended the original project that considered the autonomy of the evaluation committees of the candidates for judges, ministers and magistrates after the Senate approved last night a reservation so that the Powers of the Union can veto the listings.
“The original project in which I participated was good, because the evaluation committees had autonomy, independence or have autonomy and independence to select the candidates,” he said.
“What the Senate, the Executive Branch, the Judicial Branch and the Chamber of Deputies, understood as the Legislative Branch, did in their proposals for candidates, was to endorse the work carried out by the evaluation committees. They were even granted or are powers to agree to sign agreements with academic institutions to select the best”. In a press conference, Monreal considered that this should prevail and that the Legislative, Judicial and Executive powers should only evaluate the 10 finalists.
“And when they rated the suitability and eligibility of the 10 finalists from the entire list that had been presented, it was determined by the evaluation committee itself to leave 3 in the case of ministers and 2 in the case of magistrates and judges,” he explained. .
Monreal said that it seemed like a difficult procedure, but that now in development it is not that complicated. Likewise, he asked not to get ahead of what was approved yesterday in the Senate, since it can still be modified. “I am of the idea that we create conditions so that legislatively the evaluation committees are men and women who are partial, professional and have autonomy, independence, to achieve the best women and men to participate in this unprecedented process,” he said. . Yesterday, in the discussion on the secondary laws of the judicial reform, the Senate approved a reservation by Senator Manuel Huerta that establishes that the Powers of the Union have the power to veto the lists sent by the evaluation committee and, in the event that If the list is rejected, they must present a new list, which was questioned by the opposition.
