Morena Considers Judge Trials

“Morena considers political trial for judges halting judicial reform talks. Legislative maneuvers cause political turbulence amid wider legal and governance consequences in Mexico.”

### Morena Proposes Political Trial for Judges Blocking Judicial Reform Discussions

Lawmakers from the Morena party have announced their consideration of a political trial against judges who approved the suspension of discussions regarding the Judicial Power Reform pushed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Ricardo Monreal Ávila, Coordinator of Morena’s parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies, explained in a press conference that during the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), several actions against the judges from Chiapas and Morelos were evaluated. While a decision was not reached, the proposal remains under consideration within Morena.

Monreal highlighted three possible actions against the judges for their “serious interference in the internal affairs of the Legislative Power”: a political trial to disqualify them, a criminal complaint, and a grievance before the Federal Judiciary Council (CJF).

Furthermore, the Jucopo agreed to modify the calendar to discuss the Judicial Power reform, canceling the planned session for Monday and rescheduling it for a general debate on Tuesday and a detailed discussion on Wednesday.

Noemí Berenice Luna, the parliamentary coordinator for the National Action Party (PAN), suggested holding new forums to inform the deputies and senators of the LXVI Legislature about the reform’s decision.

In an unprecedented event, a judge in Morelos and a judge in Chiapas granted a suspension preventing the Chamber of Deputies from discussing the Judicial Reform bill scheduled for the following Monday. This decision, made during a Judiciary strike, was particularly contentious as it was not considered an “urgent” matter that would typically allow judicial intervention in the legislative process.

Diego Valadés Ríos, a staunch critic of the Judicial Power reform, argued that the resolution “lacks legal basis.” In Morelos, Judge Martha Eugenia Magaña’s provisional suspension ordered the reform bill not to affect the four federal judges who filed for an injunction.

According to file 1251/2024, the complainants filed for amparo on August 29 against President López Obrador and the Legislative Power, arguing the bill’s approval by the Permanent Commission of the outgoing legislature violated the legislative process. The judge admitted the complaint the following day, stating the suspension targeted the ongoing legislative process rather than the reform’s content.

In Chiapas, Judge Felipe V Consuelo of the Third District of Amparo and Federal Trials granted a similar suspension. Meanwhile, the four judges who requested the injunction, earning monthly salaries of 218,000 pesos (more than the President), admitted their lack of knowledge about the reform’s exact timeline but asserted the damage it would cause to judges and magistrates, including themselves.
