### Judicial Reform Achieved with Popular Support: Senator Ramírez
Following an intense deliberation session in the Senate, the Judicial Reform has been approved both generally and specifically with 86 votes in favor. During the discussions, Baja California Senator Julieta Ramírez highlighted that, unlike during the PRI era when President Zedillo abruptly closed the Supreme Court for a month to establish a tailor-made court, this judicial reform promoted by Morena and its allies was accomplished with popular support cast at the polls. The objective is to transform the only branch of government that has not yet been reformed for the benefit of the Mexican people.
Ramírez critiqued the opposition as elitist and conservative for assuming that citizens are incapable of choosing their judges. She questioned the current state of impunity within the Judicial branch, highlighting that judges have not been held accountable because they essentially govern the law and thus avoid its application to themselves.
“The intolerance is the hallmark of the right,” said Ramírez. “It is fortunate that you do not hold power, you who once persecuted, murdered, and oppressed with public force. You resist a thorough clean-up of this power, seeking to keep it detached from the transformation process happening in our country. Little have you learned that the most crucial judgment is that of the people.”
Senator Ramírez concluded her statement by firmly expressing the importance of aligning the Judicial branch with the ongoing transformative processes in Mexico, emphasizing that the public’s judgment is paramount.
