By showing up to support the sit-in of workers from the Federal Judicial Branch (PJF) and chanting slogans against the constitutional reform on the matter, the president of the Court, Norma Piña, acted in an imprudent and provocative manner; she went over her own position and made it clear that she plays a central role in this movement that has a political background,” warned the vice-coordinator of Morena in the Senate, Ignacio Mier.
Minister Piña has completely distanced herself from her constitutional obligation to dispense justice and has become a political actor, he said.
Other Morena senators also deplored the fact that the president of the highest court had joined the harangues against judicial reform. In a ridiculous attitude; she was there for only 20 minutes to take a photo and put on a t-shirt that she should have worn a long time ago, but in favor of justice, not to defend her privileges and perks, added Oscar Cantón Zetina.
Likewise, the legislator for Oaxaca, Antonino Morales Toledo, criticized the minister for participating in demonstrations, but never having spoken out about reviewing the trial of more than 8,000 indigenous people who have been unjustly imprisoned and who have been awaiting sentencing for years, and who have never had a translator.
It is an outrage to defend a judiciary that punishes the poorest of the poor and grants impunity to those who can afford it; a justice system that punishes not speaking Spanish lacks legitimacy and legality.
Meanwhile, Mier stressed that the president of the highest court acts insolently when confronting another power, without respecting what it represents. It is as if we, as legislators, no matter how aberrant a resolution of the Court may seem to us, and there have been many, were to promote a sit-in outside that court and the president of the Senate, or the president of the Chamber of Deputies, showed up to harangue the protesters.
He recalled that in recent years there have been glaring inconsistencies and inconsistencies. He mentioned that the higher court declared the constitutionality of the electricity reform, but later, in a regional court, two ministers, with the casting vote of one of them, overturned it. “Despite this, we have stopped them from working, we do not organize takeovers of the Court, as they did with the headquarters of Congress.”
He considered that Piña does not have a clear idea of the division of powers and in his ambition forgets that he has the responsibility of constitutional control of this country. With this, he proves us right about the need for judicial reform.
In turn, Cantón Zetina stated that the head of the Court demonstrated her desperation in the face of the imminent most important constitutional reform in the history of the country, after the Constituent Assembly of 1917, which gave life to the Magna Carta that still governs us.
