The minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, will present a proposal to invalidate the popular election of judges and magistrates at the federal and local levels contemplated in the judicial reform. However, this proposal does not affect the election modality for ministers, magistrates of the Electoral Court of the Judiciary of the Federation, and magistrates of the Judicial Discipline Court, whose creation is considered constitutional.
The proposed resolution does not endorse the election process through Selection Committees for the aforementioned positions. It is considered that the Plenary of the Supreme Court should refrain from commenting on this decision that would impact its current members, seeking to end the constitutional crisis and restore institutional normality among the powers of the Union.
The resolution project by González Alcántara Carrancá also rejects the reduction of salaries for ministers, magistrates, and judges, as well as limiting the powers of the Judicial Discipline Court to remove justice providers after a year of proceedings against them. Additionally, it suggests eliminating the prohibition on granting suspensions with general effects in amparo trials, considering this decision contrary to human rights.
Regarding the "faceless judges" proposed in the judicial reform, it indicates that protecting the identity of judges in criminal cases is contrary to due process and the current adversarial oral justice system. The proposal also supports the elimination of trusts of the Judiciary of the Federation, presenting fragments of the judicial reform that should be removed if a majority of eight ministers approve it.
