The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) will discuss a project by Minister Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena that proposes ordering all authorities to comply with the provisional suspensions issued against the implementation of the Judicial Reform. The document states that these suspensions, whether granted correctly or not, must be respected to guarantee the rule of law.
The project, which must have the approval of at least six of the 10 ministers to become a ruling, establishes that the Electoral Tribunal does not have the authority to annul the effects of a suspension issued by a judge of amparo. However, it indicates that district judges must review the issued suspensions to verify their legality within the framework of the law.
According to Milenio, the proposed ruling emphatically states that the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal cannot make such pronouncements and urges to resolve the trials promptly. For his part, the minister did not want to reveal his position regarding possible obstacles to judicial elections, although he believes that the SCJN's decision will not create them.
The project also proposes that those who oppose this initiative can appeal to a collegiate court to present their challenges. It also urges district judges to carefully review the suspensions to ensure they adhere to legality. Minister Yasmín Esquivel gave statements about the project in an interview on Radio Fórmula, without revealing her position on the matter.
In summary, the project of the SCJN under discussion highlights the need to respect provisional suspensions, with the aim of maintaining the rule of law, although the final verdict of the Court on this matter is still pending.
