President Claudia Sheinbaum has asserted that the reform of the Judiciary is proceeding despite the amparo lawsuits, reviews, and suspensions that have arisen against it. Researcher Miguel Carbonell from UNAM considers it possible that the SCJN (Supreme Court of Justice) will review the reform and that judges will issue amparos regarding it.
According to Carbonell, amidst the current constitutional crisis, judicial mandates are being disobeyed, which constitutes a crime according to the Amparo Law. Non-compliance with the suspensions is seen as a serious problem affecting the Mexican legal system. In light of this situation, the need for officials to set an example is emphasized, including President Sheinbaum.
Regarding the positions of Morena and its allies, who argue that the Court lacks certain powers in this matter, Carbonell highlights that legislators also have limits they must respect. Therefore, judicial independence cannot be ignored despite the majority in Congress.
In another context, there was a confrontation between Claudia Sheinbaum and Judge Nancy Juárez of the Ninth District Court in Veracruz, due to an order to remove a publication about the Judicial reform from the Official Federal Gazette (DOF). Sheinbaum decided not to withdraw the publication, to which Juárez responded by stating that judges have the authority to stop certain actions.
Juárez believes that if the Government does not respect the judges' suspensions, it would be violating the rule of law and entering a situation of anarchy where laws would not be respected.
