For having “damaged the façade” of the CNDH, by symbolically placing ‘Closed’ stickers, PAN federal deputies Margarita Zavala, Federico Döring and Saúl Téllez were summoned to a civic court to answer for the damages. They indicated that the office warns them that if they do not appear they will be arrested and sent to ‘Torito’. They denounced in the San Lázaro Plenary Session that the commission not only did not respond to their request to file an unconstitutionality action against the reform of the Judiciary, but also complained to the CDMX government and the case was referred to the court. And the jurisdiction?
They warn of recoil in DD. HH. with reform
Beyond the reduction that it would cause to the powers of the Judiciary, the reform presented yesterday on “constitutional supremacy” is a setback in human rights. This was alerted by the Prodh Center, when it warned that Article 1 of the Constitution is modified, “which cost so much to achieve and which is key to incorporating the international treaties that most protect people.” And it is that to the part that mentions the norms related to human rights it was added that “in no case can they be inapplied by means of conventionality control.” Amnesty International called for a vote against, because “it contravenes international provisions and threatens human rights”… Although it is clearly not something that matters to the 4T.
Risks of making any constitutional reform unchallengeable
And the person who gave an illustrative example of what the reform promoted by Morena and allies implies was the representative Patricia Mercado, who explained that a risk of making any constitutional reform unchallengeable is that “a parliamentary majority could come in the future that increases the working day.” to 60 hours or that prohibits people from indigenous peoples from speaking indigenous languages or that limits the right to vote to those who do not have a level of schooling… and there would be no way to stop any reform, no matter how retrograde it may be.” The emecista has a point.
In the 4T, family disputes
Family disputes broke out among allies of the self-proclaimed 4T. The PT complained and came out in defense of the workers of the Chamber of Deputies. He denounced that his major ally, Morena, has unjustifiably dismissed at least 700 employees. The Oaxacan PT representative Margarita García exploded: “Stop bringing the girlfriends, stop bringing the lovers, stop bringing the friends.” We must – he said – “have people with experience, people who really want to work, not because of their pretty face.” And they are against nepotism.
‘Sleeping with the enemy’
The workers of the Judicial Branch, through their spokesperson, Patricia Aguayo, warned that the Legislature seeks to shield the reform of the judiciary from the hands of judges. “Ricardo Monreal is integrating a panel of magistrates and judges related to the 4T with the purpose of defending the reform,” accused Aguayo, who asked to remain attentive to this matter. Perhaps some of the voices that have remained silent will now make it clear which side they are on regarding the reform.
Morenoist unity?
While the leader of Morena in San Lázaro, Ricardo Monreal, and the president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, dispute who puts the most members of the Evaluation Committee, which will be in charge of choosing the candidates for judges, magistrates and ministers, President Sheinbaum ruled out that there was ‘conflict’ between Morena legislators. Of course, he acknowledged that there may “be some differences”: “It is normal, but not like there is a crash,” he said. Will it be?
