In Puebla, workers of the Federal Judicial Branch demanded that the reform not be approved in the Senate of the Republic. They pointed out the risks that this reform allows the popular election of judges and magistrates.
The mobilization started from El Gallito, around 11:00 a.m. and reached the city’s main square. According to the organizers, students from universities such as BUAP and Udlap participated.
It was a national mobilization that was replicated in cities in states such as Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Colima, Durango, Jalisco, Sonora, Sinaloa, Nuevo León, Veracruz, Querétaro, Baja California, Coahuila, Chiapas, Michoacán and Zacatecas.
The attendees shouted phrases such as “the Judicial Branch will not fall,” “We are not the opposition, we serve the nation.” Already in the main square of Puebla, they commented on the risks of the reform of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).
Workers commented that with the constitutional amendment “anyone could be a judge.” They said that they would not allow former soccer player and governor Cuauhtemoc Blanco, reporter “Lord Molécula” or actor Sergio Mayer to be in charge of justice.
On their banners, they pointed out that electing judicial authorities without preparation is another form of corruption. In addition, they said that the magistrates and judges who marched were trained at BUAP: “a wolf never howls alone, the Judicial Branch is part of the pack,” they said.
A student from Udlap recalled that the Judicial Branch favored the institution when the government of Miguel Barbosa took over the university. This, in the midst of the conflict between the family of the Mary Street Jenkins foundation.
Puebla joins the mobilization against the reform of the Judicial Branch that is already being discussed in the Senate
This Sunday in Mexico City another mobilization against the reform took place. At least 3 thousand people left from the Angel of Independence roundabout to the Senate building.
And today the discussion of the reform began in the Constitutional Points and Legislative Studies commissions.
Law students from UNAM and other lawyers from the Mexican bar association participated in the mobilization.
One of the main demands of the contingents is that the 43 opposition senators do not give in to the expressions of the ruling party, in order to approve this reform.
On September 4, the Chamber of Deputies approved the reform to the Judicial Branch, in general and in particular, with this, it was sent to the Senate of the Republic.
