**Protest March Against Judiciary Reform in Tijuana**
More than 300 individuals, including seniors, youth, and families, gathered on Sunday morning to march in opposition to the proposed reform of the judiciary, which is currently being debated in the Senate. The demonstrators convened at 10:00 AM at Parque del Maestro, situated on Paseo de los Héroes, and began their march at 10:30 AM.
Waving Mexican flags and chanting slogans such as “Mexico, listen, this is your fight,” “Congress, understand, justice is not for sale,” and “If the people are informed, the reform won’t pass,” the participants proceeded towards the Federal Judiciary (PJF) facilities located on the same road.
Daniel Sánchez Reyes, Secretary of the Sixteenth District Court in Baja California, noted that the march was organized by the National Civic Front to show support for the Federal Judiciary workers, judges, and magistrates. He emphasized the importance of reversing the proposed judicial reform.
Sánchez Reyes pointed out that many supporters of the judicial reform are not fully aware of the judiciary’s processes and functions, including those of judges, magistrates, and prosecutors. He also mentioned that at a previous march supporting the reform, some participants had personal grievances from past legal experiences that clouded their understanding of the larger judicial issues.
Olga Félix, coordinator of Quinientocracia de Baja California, stressed the significance of the march, advocating for senators to vote against the reform to maintain the country’s rule of law. She expressed satisfaction with the turnout, highlighting the collective dedication to the nation’s well-being despite challenging weather conditions.
The march culminated at the PJF headquarters in Tijuana, where the demonstrators concluded their protest by singing the Mexican national anthem.
