“It is urgent that they know that the reform proposed by the Federal Executive seeks to subject the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the only counterweight between the Powers of the Union and guarantor of the rights of all the people of Mexico, against the abuses and arbitrariness of the authorities.
“This reform also violates the rights of the working class, as it seeks to eliminate the judicial career of officers, clerks and secretaries as a merit-based system for accessing federal judgeship positions,” they said in a statement.
He stressed that, aware of the need for a comprehensive reform that benefits all citizens, the working class made up of more than 55,000 people has tried through various means to exhaust the avenue of dialogue, to expose the reasons why judicial reform, in the terms proposed, is harmful and does not resolve the problems of justice in Mexico.

They indicated that in this sense, in a historic and legitimate exercise of the rights of freedom of expression, assembly and association, and derived from the consensus of the United Judicial Circuits that make up the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the worker base decided to take strong actions in defense of judicial independence, the judicial career and Mexico.
“Therefore, as of today, the work of the Judicial Branch of the Federation throughout the Mexican Republic is indefinitely suspended until our requests are heard, taken into account, and reflected in our Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.
“Sorry for the inconvenience, we are defending Mexico from the abuses of authoritarian power,” they said.
