( Spanish) –– The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, mocked this Wednesday that the judicial notification sent to her by Judge Nancy Juárez to eliminate the judicial reform from the Official Gazette of the Federation, made through a QR code, does not work and sends a notice that it has been removed.
“So much that they have been saying with the notification. The notification comes in a QR (…) and it goes nowhere, there is no notification,” he said sarcastically in his daily press conference.
Sheinbaum added that they certified through a notary public that the code did not work.
The judge had sent notification to the Legal Counsel of the Presidency that she granted a provisional suspension to eliminate the decree of the controversial judicial reform, which establishes – among other things – that Mexican judges be elected by direct vote, something that has been criticized by specialists.
On Thursday, Judge Juárez Salas, of the Nineteenth District Court of Veracruz, ruled that the Presidency failed to comply with the provisional suspension that ordered it not to publish the judicial reform in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF).
tried to contact Judge Juárez Salas to find out her version of the matter, but has not received a response.
This Tuesday, the judge told that the appeal had been filed against the president and the head of the DOF for the promulgation, because on September 12 a provisional suspension was granted to prevent the promulgation. He added that, since this occurred despite the court order, he decided to grant a new appeal to eliminate the decree.
“I considered objectively and based on the legal and constitutional framework that this definitive suspension was appropriate for the purpose of eliminating the publication of the Official Gazette, that is, it had restorative effects,” he said in an interview with Carmen Aristegui.
Juárez Salas pointed out that the appeal does not oppose the constitutional text, but rather the legislative approval process, which can be challenged by legal means.
“The Presidency’s advisors are a little disoriented because what is being demanded here is not the constitutional reform in judicial matters itself, but the legislative process prior to the reform,” he added.
The president stated this Friday that she did not receive any notification, and has reiterated that they will not lower the decree and that the reform is not in danger.
The Federal Law of Administrative Procedure of Mexico indicates that judicial notifications can be made by ordinary mail, courier, telegram, telefax or means of electronic communication (the latter includes QR).
asked Sheinbaum’s spokesperson for information about whether she had received notifications through any of the other means, without having received a response so far.
The matter is one more of the controversies in the processes initiated against the judicial reform, which was approved in Congress with the support of the majority of Morena, the party founded by the now former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador and which also nominated the current chairwoman.
