They lift a sit-in in San Lázaro

Surprisingly, after mentioning issues of insecurity and fear of being repressed, the workers of the Federal Judicial Branch (PJF) who were on a sit-in in front of the Chamber of Deputies withdrew at two in the morning yesterday, and what was to become their second day of resistance against judicial reform It turned into a day during which the entrances to the parliamentary complex were cleared.

In several courts and tribunals, the heads of the courts were divided, after many already wanted the strike to end. These offices were seen with only a few protesting workers.

Shortly after 1:00 p.m., the spokeswoman for workers opposed to the reform, Patricia Aguayo, secretary of agreements at the tenth collegiate court on labor matters, and Judge Juana Fuentes Velázquez, leader of the National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges of the PJF (Jufed), went to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN).

Meeting at the dark between Piña and Juana Fuentes?

Fuentes Velázquez initially stated that he would meet with the president of the Court, Minister Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, but later changed his version and said that they were going to talk with workers, and that they did not have an appointment to meet with any minister.

In an interview, he acknowledged that there are a great division of opinions between judges and magistrates for and against continuing with the work stoppage, which is why it will be this Friday when the Jufed will announce the decision on the suspension of work in the different courts and tribunals.

In fact, some courts in the country have already resumed activities. Among them, the third district court in the state of Coahuila, headed by Judge Juan Marcos Dávila Rangel, who published on September 11 the notice of resumption of work.

In the writing of which The Day has a copy, it was announced to litigants, agents of the Federal Public Ministry, federal public defenders, experts and the general public, that In response to the conclusion of the causes of force majeure that originated the indefinite national work stoppage, as of 00:00 hours on Thursday, September 12, 2024, work will resume for this third district court in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

The federal courts based in the country’s capital maintained a strike amid an atmosphere of uncertainty among judicial sector workers.

During the day, the demonstrators’ lack of knowledge about the direction the protest will take was evident. Even after the Court announced that it would resume its session, in the collegiate court for administrative matters of the first circuit, located in Periférico Sur, one of the spokespersons announced with a megaphone that they were maintaining the suspension.

Carolina Isabela Alcalá Valenzuela, a magistrate assigned to the ninth collegiate court in administrative matters, clarified that the decision taken by the Court to resume sessions does not affect this movement.

At the sit-in they are holding at Periférico Sur 2321, he stressed that In this headquarters and in all the headquarters of the Judicial Branch of the Federation we will continue to suspend work, in a resistance movement.
