We Discuss the Judicial Reform and Its Consequences

The abandoned battle was the judicial controversy over legislative overrepresentation, while silence or political incapacity yielded the first front. To avoid cases like Campo Algodonero and victims like Rosendo Cantú, Radilla Pacheco, or Gerardo Tzompaxtle, it is proposed to modify the Constitution.

"Citizens did not give the government arithmetic mandate to change the Constitution," stated an authorized voice. However, the absence of arguments and civic education may pave the way for future judicial disputes.

In another vein, it is emphasized that the judicial reform is the result of compromised agreements. The qualified majority seeking to change the Constitution could isolate Mexico from human rights protection systems.

Parliamentary disloyalty and the pact of impunity that led to the constitutional reform are seen as an affront to the Republic and the judiciary. The consequences of these decisions could have a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of people.

Despite questions about formal legality, some warn about the imposition of new rules that will mark generations. The desire to be a minister of the Supreme Court of Justice by popular vote arises as a way to continue fighting for freedom and reason.

The importance of not abandoning the battles for justice and freedom is highlighted, even when it seems like a titanic task. Resistance to political adversities and the search for the right alliances are emphasized as key strategies to face adverse situations.
