MEXICO CITY.- This Monday, during his usual morning press conference, the president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorquestioned whether the administration of justice was “very complex,” and admitted that “he left us” in the initiative of reform of the judiciary the requirement that Judges must have five years of experiencesomething that he acknowledged he is once morest.

In National PalaceLopez Obrador pointed out that those who they are studying law They come out with great enthusiasm enforce the law, But now, as time goes by, they have lost the mystique and “have learned other things that are not needed.”

Incredibly irrational. That AMLO proposes eliminating the requirement of 5 years of experience to be a judge and suggests that administering justice can be learned with a simple course is alarming. Being a judge is not easy; it requires deep knowledge and experience. What do you think? pic.twitter.com/vSXuulDYrj

He said he is open to making adjustments to the reform: “If it is going to improve and enrich things, then go ahead.”

“We do not want our initiative to be approved, without removing a comma. If it is going to be improved, enriched, then go ahead. For example, we missed the initiative that those who can participate as judges or magistrates must have five years of experience. I have been once morest it; however, we forgot regarding it, because I am more in favor of a woman, a man who graduates as a lawyer, with a lot of enthusiasm to enforce the law,” said the president.

And he added, “It is full of freshness, of ideals, of putting into practice the maxim that ‘Outside the law, nothing and above the law, no one’, but as time goes by, following five years and let’s not even talk regarding the fact that before almost all the requirements include 10 years of experience, they already know enough, but they have already lost the mystique, they have already left it behind, they have already learned other things that are not needed.”

The President pointed out that it is common to say that experience is necessary, so if it is necessary for judges to have more knowledge, then “a special course is carried out.”

“Is the administration of justice very complex?” he asked.
