### March in Defense of the Judiciary in Tijuana
In Tijuana, an impassioned crowd of judicial workers, including judges and magistrates, rallied under the call, “Mexico, listen, this is your fight.” This demonstration was part of a larger movement opposing proposed reforms to the Federal Judiciary (PJF). The rally is part of a series of actions that have taken place recently, including a nationwide strike affecting federal court operations.
Despite the protest, activities in Tijuana were only partially disrupted. The Penal Justice Center remained operational, addressing urgent matters. However, participants voiced concerns about the lack of support from their union.
Speaking on the matter, Circuit Magistrate Matilde del Carmen González Barbosa explained the potential individual filings to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights if the reforms pass. This initiative includes the possibility of seeking an injunction against new regulations that encompass judicial voting procedures.
During the march, which began at the PJF headquarters, proceeded along Paseo de los Héroes, and returned to the starting point, demonstrators chanted slogans such as, “If the public is informed, the reform won’t pass,” and “Judicial Power: no party, no color.” The demonstration saw participation from various lawyer groups and civil society organizations, including the National Civic Front of the Pink Tide.
González Barbosa also mentioned plans to file a citizen lawsuit with the electoral tribunal, alongside other civil society groups, against the overrepresentation of Morena and its allies in Congress.

### Secondary Article: Broader Reactions to Judicial Reforms
According to recent sources, the proposed judicial reforms have caused significant unease not only among judicial workers but also in economic sectors. Business leaders in Baja California have expressed concerns about the potential impact on investments. María Eugenia Díaz, a prominent economist, warned that the lack of comprehensive studies to identify the critical issues in the reforms brings about economic uncertainty.
The uncertainty surrounding these reforms is causing investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach, said C. Jaramillo of the Baja California Business Coordinating Council (CCE). The ambiguity regarding the judicial system’s future after the reforms is a significant factor leading to this hesitation.
Additionally, ongoing protests by judicial workers have highlighted their grievances over the insufficient support from their union. These demonstrations reflect a broader sentiment of discontent within the judicial community concerning the proposed changes.
