Mexico City. The coordinator of the Morena bench in the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Monreal Ávila, said that the reform to the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF) could begin to be discussed this Sunday in committees of the Senate of the Republic, to be voted on in the plenary session on Tuesday or Wednesday, while emphasizing that no legal recourse is possible against this legislative process.
In a video message on his social media, the president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) of San Lázaro also said that this “has been a hazardous, heavy, complex week, due to the approval of one of the most profound reforms that Mexico has experienced and that is in the process of being concluded.”
After recalling that the Chamber of Deputies had already approved the aforementioned project by a qualified majority, he indicated that the bill “is now in the Senate and apparently the discussion in the drafting committees will begin on Sunday, then it will go to the plenary session on Tuesday and it could be that on Tuesday or Wednesday they will vote.”
Monreal stressed that “there is no recourse against the constitutional reform: no protection is appropriate, no suspension is appropriate,” and that “no one should feel deceived, no one can feel offended, because with this proposal we went to the polls and the people gave us the power to reform the Constitution.”
For this reason, he said, “now we are very calm, waiting, already preparing the reform on indigenous matters, native peoples and Afro-Mexicans that will be released next week (in the Chamber of Deputies), and then we will address the issue – let’s see if we can also achieve it with a qualified majority – in relation to the National Guard.”
After both initiatives, “all the social reforms that the President (Andrés Manuel López Obrador) sent since February 5 and that are now in the Board of Directors of the new Legislature will come.”
In the message, which lasted 2:47 minutes, the legislator stated that “we are very respectful of all the opposition, asking all our supporters to be calm and patient. We are doing everything in accordance with the law and the right. We are not doing anything against the rule of law. This is what the Constitution and the law empower us to do.”
Monreal said he understands “the annoyance and even anger of sectors that sympathized with the non-approval of the reform. It is natural. We were opponents, we understand it and it took us several decades to be able to start this process of regime change and consolidation of the process of transformation of the institutions.”
