Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carranca presented a project on Monday that proposes the partial unconstitutionality of the judicial reform, which will be analyzed by the full Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
The project argues that the process for the mass election of judges does not guarantee the "minimum democratic conditions that allow for an authentic election," citing a violation of constitutional principles and a serious detriment to constitutional democracy.
The proposal comes in the context of the Constitutional Points Commission in San Lázaro debating the proposed constitutional supremacy reform by the Morena party. Additionally, it occurs amid protests from workers of the judiciary, especially judges, who have rejected the election of judges and the lottery method to establish positions for election in 2025.
The minister's project proposes to declare the invalidity of faceless judges, to eliminate injunctions with general effects, and to elect judges and magistrates by popular vote, aiming to end the "constitutional crisis."
The published text states that the dismissal of judges and magistrates in their positions undermines the guarantees of immovability. The project aims to address each part of the judicial reform to determine if it contravenes any constitutional provision, concluding that some aspects must be invalidated.
