Claudia Sheinbaum criticizes strike of the Judiciary
This Wednesday, President Claudia Sheinbaum led her first ‘morning’ conference, during which she criticized the work stoppage of the Judiciary workers.
The president denied that there was a reason to continue with the strike, since, she affirms, the Constitution protects the rights of workers.
He also criticized that they continue to receive their salary during the almost two months of strike.
“There is no reason for them to be unemployed, because when they are unemployed in the Judiciary, it must be said that the arrest warrants for a criminal come from the Judiciary, so how unemployed and also collecting their salaries,” he said.
“So we do not agree, we obviously respect it, but we do not agree with it,” he said at a press conference.
