Judicial Workers Strike Continues in Mexico | Ours Abroad News

Judicial workers from at least seven states in Mexico have decided to remain on strike despite the order issued by the Federal Judiciary Council (CJF). This measure is part of a protest against the judicial reform and is expected to continue until November 4. Magistrate Magda Ortega emphasized that the demonstrations will not cease by decree and highlighted the diversity of responses within the social movement.

In contrast, it has been announced that the circuits in Guanajuato, Nayarit, Oaxaca, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Baja California, Sonora, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Quintana Roo, Tamaulipas, Campeche, Morelos, Colima, Yucatán, Sinaloa, Puebla, Tabasco, Durango, and Aguascalientes will resume their work, although some will do so with or without the support of their heads.

In another aspect, it has been reported that 32 judicial workers were surrounded during a demonstration outside the GNP Stadium during the Formula 1. Judge Mendoza reported that five amparo lawsuits have been filed, resulting in the immediate granting of a provisional suspension to ensure their free transit.

Meanwhile, Judge Marlene Ángeles Tovar, who was surrounded by police during protests near the Hermanos Rodríguez racetrack, expressed her concern about these actions that could violate human rights. The judge, who currently works in Sinaloa, requested the implementation of similar security operations in cities like Culiacán and noted that she never received an explanation from the uniformed officers regarding her encirclement during the protest.

These details were shared by Judge Minerva Mendoza during the morning conference of the Artículo 41 collective. The headquarters of the Federal Judiciary impacted by this movement include circuits from Jalisco, Chiapas, State of Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, Michoacán, and Mexico City, where paralysis is reported in the Palace of Justice of San Lázaro and the Prisma building on Avenida Insurgentes.
