The Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, exposed a series of alleged irregularities affecting the Federal Judiciary. During the morning conference, she pointed out that certain members of the judiciary have issued rulings and injunctions that have hindered the application of laws designed to benefit Mexican society and guarantee citizens' rights. According to Rodríguez, this has fostered impunity and delayed access to justice, paralyzing relevant projects such as public works and welfare policies.
Rodríguez mentioned concrete examples of these alleged irregularities, such as the case of individuals deprived of liberty who have not received sentences, including women in the Morelos Women's Center who have waited between one year and 17 years for a sentence. She also criticized the suspensions of injunctions that have obstructed important laws and reforms, such as the Electric Industry Law, the National Guard Law, and the Mining Law.
The Secretary of the Interior emphasized that these actions have also affected projects such as the Pension Fund for the Wellbeing of Workers, the delivery of free textbooks, the Mayan Train, among others. Additionally, she denounced the alleged interference of the Judiciary in electoral matters, citing concrete cases that, in her opinion, violate the prohibition of judicial intrusion in these issues.
Rodríguez also pointed out problems in the selection of judges, highlighting the high number of people within the Judiciary who have relatives working in the same, which, according to her, affects the impartiality of the judicial system. Furthermore, she stressed the complaints filed against public officials in the Judiciary, detailing that the vast majority of these complaints have not been investigated and that sanctions against judges and magistrates have been minimal.
Regarding salaries in the Judiciary, the Secretary mentioned figures she considers excessive, criticizing the high salaries of ministers, councilors, magistrates, and judges. Finally, she denounced releases and suspensions of injunctions that, in her view, have favored high-profile criminals and contributed to the delay of judicial processes, affecting the administration of justice in Mexico according to the official's perspective.
