Juarez City.- While Chihuahua opposition legislators described the judicial reform as “nonsense” and a “simulation,” Morena legislators for Chihuahua foresee its discussion at the beginning of the legislative period in San Lázaro, even without having read the document.
“The truth is, I don’t know what scope it will have, whether it is federal or even the states. I think it also has to extend to the states, but I don’t dare say, I don’t know the answer,” said Morenoist federal deputy Daniel Murguía, after requesting details about the effects of the reform on the judicial system.
“With the reform (the judicial system) must be more democratic, more fair. Something important is that not everyone can be a magistrate, he has to meet certain requirements to assume the position. Morena proposes that the first step be a democratic election of the people, but as long as certain requirements have to be met,” she explained.
In contrast, the federal representative for National Action (PAN) Rocío González, considered that the reform will not change the judicial system with only the election of judges and magistrates through a vote or consultation.
“It seems silly to me to think that with the election of judges or ministers, magistrates in the case of states, justice will be different. The reform must be profound, but to the procedure, even to the budget. We need more judges, there are so many cases that it is humanly impossible to resolve them in a timely manner,” he noted.
“It is a simulation to impose on those close to us and we would have a country in the interests of a perfect dictatorship and justice like the 4T,” he added.
The judicial reform project proposed by President López Obrador considers the election by popular vote of 1,688 positions by June 2025, including the ministers of the Supreme Court.
This constitutional reform project requires a qualified majority in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, something that Morena and allies only achieved in the lower house.
The initiative orders the election by popular vote of the members of the Supreme Court, the Electoral Tribunal, a new Judicial Disciplinary Court (TDJ), as well as all District judges and Circuit magistrates in the country.
“Justice in Mexico is not prompt, it is not expeditious, in many cases there is no justice, people have to wait years for a matter to be resolved or to have money to advance on some issues, but the processes are where we have to have the reform. “I do not believe that with the modification of appointing judges through elections we are going to solve the problem of justice in the country,” considered the PAN legislator.
