Mexico City.- Students from the UNAM Faculty of Law asked Ricardo Monreal to open up dialogue with students regarding judicial reform.
Gathered at the eagle on the esplanade of the Faculty of Law, students from this institution held a press conference to ask the authorities to open up to dialogue with university students in relation to judicial reform, especially with the Morena member Ricardo Monreal, president of the Political Coordination Board in the Senate of the Republic.
“We would like them to listen to us, to be honest, to open up to dialogue, to listen to us and to receive us in Congress,” said Luis Figueroa, a law student at UNAM, in an interview. “(We ask them) to listen to the students, to listen to the students of the Faculty of Law, which is where he (Monreal) teaches, and to please open the doors to us because we want to be heard (…) and also to make proposals on how this judicial reform can be improved.”
Currently, Monreal is a professor in the Graduate Studies Division of the University. Last week, a graduate student requested his dismissal as a professor at the institution, arguing that his teaching does not meet the university’s standards of professionalism.
Following yesterday’s march, representatives of the student and youth movement in defense of the Judiciary are preparing a compendium of observations and recommendations issued by students and youth from various universities such as UNAM, CIDE, Ibero, the Escuela Libre de Derecho (ELD) and the Tec. “It includes proposals from students from various universities on issues that we can address in the reform, modifications that can be made and some other proposals that are perhaps a little less drastic than those being taken now,” explained Figueroa. Today they will also present the right to petition in the Chamber of Deputies’ Official Records Office, said Miguel Vargas, a graduate of the ELD and representative of the movement. Yesterday they collected around 750 signatures, Vargas specified.
