The legal department of the Chamber of Deputies received this Saturday the documents of the suspensions that seek to stop the legislative process and analysis of the initiative to reform the Judicial Branch.
The suspensions were ordered by the Third Court of Chiapas and the Fifth Court of Morelos through two amparo trials.
The Fifth District Judge in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Martha Eugenia Magaña López, issued a suspension so that the Congress of the Union cannot process and discuss the judicial reform.
“This Saturday, the legal department of the Chamber of Deputies received from the Tenth District Court on administrative matters letters with annexes containing incidents of suspension of amparo trials 1190/2024-XVI and 1251/2024, promoted by the Third Court of Chiapas and the Fifth Court of Morelos, so that the Congress of the Union, through its two chambers, and the Constitutional Points Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, as well as the legislatures of the states continue with the discussion and approval of reforms to the Political Constitution related to the Judicial Branch,” the Chamber reported.
For his part, the Third District Judge of Amparo and Federal Trials in Chiapas, Felipe Consuelo Soto, issued another suspension so that if the judicial reform initiative is approved, it cannot be sent to the local Congresses for follow-up on the process.
The legal department of the Chamber explained that the person who delivered the documents in San Lázaro was Mr. Edgar López, from the Tenth District Court for administrative matters.
The suspensions issued by judges in Morelos and Chiapas were described by Ricardo Monreal, parliamentary coordinator of Morena in San Lázaro as absurd, grotesque and ignorant and as a desperate measure.

Other legislators from the ruling party, such as Citlali Hernández and Julieta Ramírez, also criticized the suspensions. Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, for his part, even called for impeachment against the players.
However, Monreal Ávila stressed that the parliamentary majority of Morena “does not and will not submit to the jurisdiction of the court or courts that order it because they do not have the authority to do so, because the analysis and discussion and, where appropriate, approval of the opinion regarding the constitutional reform in judicial matters cannot be suspended.”
