Senate Committees approve AMLO’s Judicial Reform 25 votes vs 12

The Joint Committees on Constitutional Matters and Legislative Studies of the Senate They approved in general the opinion of the Reform to the Judicial Branch of the Federation after several hours of discussion.

Without any changes to the proposal and with 25 votes in favor, 12 againstthe senators approved the Reform to the Judicial Branch proposed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), which seeks to elect magistrates and ministers through popular votes.

The The session was attended by 38 legislators of the Upper House of both commissions, where they exchanged positions for and against the ruling that seeks to change the way in which PJF leaders come to office.

The sides were clear: legislators from the National Regeneration Movement and allies were in favor of the people having the final decision, while PAN, PRI and Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) considered it a centralization of power by the Executive.

One of the voices that echoed was that of former presidential candidate Ricardo Anaya, who stated that he has in-depth knowledge of three senators who have been made “corrupting” proposals and are also being harassed by state prosecutors.

Carolina Viggiano, a spokesperson for the PRI, considered it false that it is the citizens who elect the judges, since, she stated, it will be Morena and the federal government, soon to be led by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who will make that decision.

For his part, Morena member Oscar Cantón Zetina said that they will bet on giving power to the people in the Judicial Reform, since it was the voters who decided that the members of the cherry-colored party would widely dominate in all public offices voted for in the elections of last June 6.
