The resignation of eight ministers from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation has been seen as a gesture of dignity and respect towards the Supreme Tribunal and its legal stance in defense of the Constitution. These ministers have decided to resign in accordance with their principles, highlighting their courage, consistency, and dignity in an act that honors them.
Among the ministers who have submitted their resignation are Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, Ana Margarita Ríos Farjat, Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena, Alberto Gelacio Pérez Dayán, Javier Laynez Potisek, Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo, and Luis María Aguilar. Their action has been interpreted as a patriotic act in defense of the federal pact, the separation of powers, democracy, and respect for the human rights of Mexicans.
The resignation letters from the ministers have been eloquent in highlighting their dignity and respect for the Constitution. Even, Minister Ana Margarita Ríos Farjat has mentioned that she will resign from her lifetime earnings as a demonstration of her personal commitment to dignity and freedom. This gesture has contradicted the accusations from some official representatives who hinted that the ministers resigned for personal gain, when in reality they did so in the context of the judicial reform approved by Morena and its allies.
The ministers' resignation, along with the refusal of half of the district judges and circuit magistrates to participate in the judicial election, reveals a movement of resistance against the attempts to control and subjugate the Judicial Power by the current government. The concern lies in the possible subordination of justice to partisan interests and the loss of impartiality in judicial decisions, which could have serious consequences for both the country's economy and democratic stability.
As the discussion about the constitutional crisis and changes in the Judicial Power deepens, it is important for society to be aware of the risks involved in undermining judicial independence and altering the constitutional order. The decisions made in this area will not only affect the quality of justice in Mexico but could also impact the economy, foreign investment, and the stability of the country as a whole. Prudence and respect for democratic institutions should guide any reform or change in the judicial system to ensure that the balance of powers and the rule of law are maintained.
