The Plenary of the Federal Judiciary Council has decided to end the strike of the Judiciary and resume work in all courts and tribunals in Mexico. This decision was based on the pronouncements and present circumstances, with the aim of ensuring social interest and the proper administration of justice.
In an agreement dated October 16, the CJF was informed about the result of the judges' vote regarding the lifting of the work suspension with attention to urgent matters. As a result, the Plenary decided that it was necessary to resume activities in all courts and tribunals in the country. It was emphasized that the right to protest would not be impeded, as long as it did not interfere with the service of justice.
The circular disseminated reiterated the obligation of the heads of courts and tribunals to comply with administrative provisions and identify the attendance of personnel. Additionally, instructions were given to apply current regulations to those workers who do not report for work starting October 24. The Security Coordinator was also tasked with providing support to judges and magistrates who require access to the premises.
Councilors Bernardo Bátiz Vázquez, Eva Verónica De Gyvés Zárate, Celia Maya García, and Sergio Javier Molina Martínez voted in favor of ending the strike, although Molina Martínez issued a concurrent vote. Opposing were Norma Lucia Piña Hernández, Lilia Mónica López Benítez, and José Alfonso Montalvo Martínez. Molina Martínez clarified that the measures of circular 22/2024 will remain in place until receiving information from regional administrations and security coordination, in order to take necessary measures.
