Mexico City. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador maintained that to stop the judicial reform and its implementation, many protections have been presented, including one so that the National Electoral Institute does not start the electoral process to elect ministers, magistrates and judges of the Judicial Branch.
During the conference, he maintained that neither those that were presented at the time to prevent the legislative process from being carried out to approve these changes, nor those that were presented to not promulgate the law or to stop the organization are appropriate because they have no basis. .
“There is a kind of self-confidence in judges, magistrates, ministers, even when they do not do it openly, they are promoting illegality,” said López Obrador.
-About the budget and cost of the choice?
-There are two things, as additional resources, one, it is everything that they have in the trusts in the Judiciary to pay for privileges, that they earn four times more than the president, they live full of attention and privileges, I think it is 20 billion weights.
On the other hand, he considered that another way emerges from the reform initiative he sent to eliminate all these autonomous organizations that do not help the oligarchy at all. To protect the interests of minorities so that they can loot to their heart’s content.
Once the reform of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF) has been approved, it is up to the National Electoral Institute (INE) to launch the call and “there will surely be a period to meet all the candidates for judges, magistrates and ministers. It is possible that at least in the public media the trajectory of the candidates will be disseminated, said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
“I hope it is done in a broad, intense way, so that even the most remote town and community knows, because for the election of ministers the entire country will vote. Hopefully the INE can deliver information house to house; A campaign could be carried out, but I have no knowledge of how it would be done, but the truth always makes its way,” he said in his morning press conference.
As he has done on other occasions, the president said he hopes that with the election by popular vote of judges, ministers and magistrates “there will be a real administration of justice, and that there will be no influence, corruption, discrimination. May they be true judges, may the judges be upright and incorruptible.”
In that same tone, López Obrador hoped that through the reform of the PJF “a very good shake will be given to that power, not only to the essential structure, which are the judges, but also to influential lawyers, who resolved everything with meals.” and indecorous proposals, those meetings in Las Lomas, in mansions, where ministers meet with leaders, who have not clarified for what purpose, all in the dark.
“That’s over now. The famous firms, which were very good at influence peddling, and thus became the richest lawyers in the world. All that has to be cleaned,” he emphasized.
When asked about the cost of the process of electing judges, the head of the Executive pointed out that a part could be covered with “the trusts of the Judiciary, which (currently) is to pay for the privileges (of the ministers), so that they earn four times more than the President, so that they live full of attention and privileges.”
He added that the fund of said trusts “I think is 20 billion (pesos); It is not that the elections are going to cost 20 billion, but there are enough resources there, and it is also for the Judiciary itself, to clean and reform the Judiciary.”
