### Partial Work Continues for PJF Employees in Tijuana
For the fifth consecutive week, workers from the Federal Judicial Power (PJF) in Tijuana remain partially on strike, protesting against the proposed Judicial Reform. Matilde del Carmen González Barbosa, a magistrate of the Fourth Circuit in Tijuana, stated that employees gathered at the Casa de la Cultura Jurídica to continue their demonstrations.
González Barbosa highlighted that the national partial strike, which initially began with lower-level employees and later included senior officials and the Supreme Court of Justice, aims to disseminate information about the implications of the Judicial Reform.
“In our protests, we aim to inform as many people as possible about what the Judicial Reform entails,” said González Barbosa. She emphasized that public response has been positive, with citizens showing increased interest and awareness about the issue. She expressed fears about the potential for authoritarian rule and the concentration of power should the reform pass.
Some PJF employees from various circuits across Mexico have traveled to Mexico City to support protests outside legislative buildings. The fate of the Judicial Reform, championed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, lies with the Senate, which is set to debate and vote on it this Wednesday. Reports suggest that 43 senators are expected to vote against the reform, potentially preventing its passage.
