Two Federal Judges provisionally suspend AMLO’s Judicial Reform

While one suspension orders the Chamber of Representatives not to discuss the ruling in the plenary session, another prevents it from being sent to local Congresses once approved.

Mexico City, (September 1, 2024).- Separately, two federal judges granted suspensions against AMLO0s controversial judicial reform, whose discussion in the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies is expected to start on Monday, September 2.

Martha Eugenia Magaña, Fifth District Judge in the Mexican state of Morelos, ordered legislators not to address the ruling in a provisional suspension granted to a group of federal judges within the injunction number 1251/2024, which will be resolved definitively on September 4th.

The protesters allege that they are intended to dismiss them from their positions “without the right to a hearing and without the right to any compensation.”

Meanwhile, Felipe Consuelo Soto, Third Judge of Injunction and Federal Trials in the southern state of Chiapas, also granted an appeal against the reform, but does not prevent its discussion or legislative approval.

The suspension, which will be resolved on the merits on September 6, orders that, once the opinion is approved by the Congress of the Union, it cannot be sent to the 32 state legislatures, of which at least 17 must give their approval to complete the reform to the Constitution.
