Jufed will maintain strike in all PJF bodies

Mexico City. The National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges (Jufed) agreed to maintain the strike in all organs of the Judicial Branch of the Federation.

In a press release, the organization reported that “in a meeting of its national and regional boards, listening to the dialogue committee, it unanimously agreed to extend the suspension of activities.”

This association, headed by Judge Juana Fuentes Velázquez, stated that it “reiterates its rejection of the so-called Judicial Reform and its conviction to resort to the legal defense mechanisms it deems necessary.”

The Jufed did not specify what actions its members will take, nor will they organize new blockades in protest against the approval of the reform to the Judicial Branch by the Congress of the Union and more than 20 local congresses.

So far, organizations that bring together base workers and judicial officials who collaborate with judges and magistrates, such as the organization Circuitos Unidos, have not announced their decision to maintain the strike or return to work, although spokesperson Patricia Aguayo said that this Friday they will decide by vote what actions they will carry out.
