**Senator Calls for Violence Over Judicial Reform Vote; Political Leaders React**
María de Jesús Díaz Marmolejo, a senator from the National Action Party (PAN) representing Aguascalientes, sparked outrage on September 6, 2024, when she suggested that any opposition legislator who supports the judicial reform proposal in the Senate should be physically attacked. Her statement was made during a press conference at the PAN State Executive Committee in Aguascalientes.
“This isn’t politics […] politics is another job, and this is something where the idiot who votes against it (sic) should be lynched,” the senator declared. “I’m serious. Just like that and just like how vulgar I am, they should be beaten up, really go after the fool who doesn’t vote against this reform,” she further asserted. She also urged legislators from the Citizens’ Movement (MC) party not to let Mexico and its citizens down.
Díaz Marmolejo criticized senators from the “Fourth Transformation” parliamentary groups, which include Morena and its allies, the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) and the Labor Party (PT), for not considering the opinions of law students opposed to the judicial reform. The press event also included PAN state president Javier Luévano Núñez, along with other PAN senators and federal deputies, who reiterated their opposition to the proposed judicial reform.
Senator Díaz Marmolejo, 57, joined the LXVI Legislature in the Senate under the principle of relative or plurinominal majority. She previously served in the 65th Legislature of the state Congress and as General Coordinator of Public Services in the Aguascalientes municipality, among other roles.
In response, José Gerardo Rodolfo Fernández Noroña, President of the Senate and Chair of the Political Coordination Board (JUCOPO), announced on the social media platform X that he would file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) against Díaz Marmolejo. “As President of the Senate’s Board of Directors, I will present a complaint to the FGR against legislator Chuya Díaz. Ensuring the safety of every Senate member is my responsibility […] Her statement is extremely serious and genuinely fascist,” he wrote.

**Secondary Article: Political Tensions Mount Over Mexico’s Judicial Reform**
In the ongoing controversy surrounding Mexico’s proposed judicial reform, political tensions have continued to escalate. Recent events demonstrate the highly polarized environment in which these debates are taking place. Beyond María de Jesús Díaz Marmolejo’s infamous call for violence, various political figures and activist groups have voiced strong positions either for or against the reform.
Díaz Marmolejo’s comments have drawn sharp rebukes from multiple quarters, including human rights organizations and academic institutions. The proposed reform has also led to widespread student protests, particularly from law faculties, whose concerns about the impact of the reform appear to have been overlooked by several pro-reform legislators.
Meanwhile, Senator Fernández Noroña’s response reflects the broader conflict within the Senate, where opposing party lines seem even more pronounced. The situation has prompted a call for greater security measures for lawmakers, particularly those who have been vocal in their stance on the controversial judicial reform.
As debates continue, the judicial reform proposal remains a hot topic within Mexico’s political landscape, with potential implications not only for the structure of the judiciary but also for the broader democratic processes and rights protection in the country.
