The breakdown of the rule of law. This is what Minister Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena called him to the difference between amparo judges and magistrates of the Electoral Tribunal in regard to the judicial election.
Both departed from the constitutional framework by issuing sentences for those who were not competent.
“The suspensions of the amparo judges were badly conceived to deal with electoral matters and should be revoked, but this does not authorize the Superior Chamber, to break the challenge of the amparo,” said the minister.
The Court corrected the flat to one another, ordering that they do not leave the sphere of competition, where there is no protection in electoral matters, but the TEPJF cannot revoke mandates of the judges.
There are several lessons in this matter, and perhaps the most disturbing is to verify, as Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena revealed, that the collapse of the legality does not occur in a single blow, but is calibrating with a daily erosion that is accentuate with each resolution that is not accepted.
In the February 13 session, which will become a study piece, the minister accused that “each transgression to the constitutional order has raided the way for the next, until reaching the point where the institutional limits that once seemed unwavering were They have returned porous, the most insidious threat to constitutional order is not their frontal rejection, but their gradual deterioration by those who have the duty to safeguard it. ”
Lines were crossed from which there is no return back, at least for the moment, those that have already generated greater damage and weakened the perception of the empire of the law.
At a time when Summan’s challenges, where having strong institutions would help face the threats that come from abroad and stalking of criminal groups that complicate inner peace with greater margin.
But the damage is done, and in those Broncas waters it is in which they will have to navigate.
How do we get to this situation? The judicial reform was concatenated with the absence of dialogue with those who would be the main affected by the changes and this caused the positions to move away to the extremes. There was never the will to convince and much less agree.
The peculiarity with which the Plenary of the Court works is part of this anomal The polls.
But it is not the only distortion, but it is spliced, in some way, with the integration of the Electoral Tribunal, where the places were not completed and this allowed it to prevail a scheme of determinations that would not necessarily operate if seven magistrates were in functions and not five.
