Judicial Power reforms aim to democratize, increase transparency, and eradicate vices in the country's justice system, assured federal deputies from Morena. Deputy Merilyn Gómez Pozos, president of the Budget Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, emphasized the importance of generating peace and certainty in the business, academic, and broader societal sector through these reforms.
She emphasized that criticisms against the reforms come from power circles affected in their interests and privileges, as well as from opposition parties. The deputy called for calm and trust from the population, highlighting that there is a backing of 68% from society in this process of transformation of the Judicial Power. Additionally, she underscored that the reforms seek to guarantee the rights and benefits of workers in the national judicial system.
For his part, Deputy Mario Miguel Carrillo Cubillas stressed that the reforms will end the system of promotions and advancements that influence judicial rulings. He highlighted the importance of avoiding favoritism and nepotism in the judicial system, as well as strengthening the independence of judges, magistrates, and ministers.
Regarding the election of judges, it was assured that filters will be implemented to select the best-prepared candidates, lawyers with experience and qualifications for the position. On the appointment of Minister Lenia Batres, it was explained that it was carried out based on a constitutional authority of the President of the Republic and the lack of agreement in the opposition.
In relation to "constitutional supremacy," it was indicated that this reform seeks to confirm in the Constitution that amparo actions against reforms to the Constitution do not proceed, avoiding conflicts of interpretation in the future.
