Reform to extinguish 13 trusts in the Judicial Branch approved

With the vote of Morena and its allies, the Budget Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved a reform of the Organic Law of the Judicial Branch of the Federation that will force the extinction of 13 trusts, where 15,434 million pesos will be available.

If the change is approved in the plenary session next week, the fund to support the administration of justice will only be preserved, where there is still 6.103 million.

As part of the breakdown of the funds managed by the Judicial Branch, the coordinator of Morena, Ignacio Mier Velazco, indicated that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation controls six, of which last June there were 6,241 million pesos.

For the past eight years, these six trusts have remained virtually inactive, except for the interest they generate in banks. They lived on the sweat of the woolhe charged.

In general, the trusts of the Judiciary Council, the Court and the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation allow the coverage of complementary pensions for retired magistrates and judges, senior and middle management, as well as medical support.

One of the ones that caused a lot of controversy is 80693, which pays for the maintenance of the houses of magistrates and judges, where there is 76.5 million pesos.

The scope of the reform generated a three-hour debate in the commission, which was approved with 30 votes in favor and 21 against the initiative presented by Mier in September.

Hamlet García Almaguer (Morena) explained that the Judiciary is rising golden pig since 2013, when a systematic operation began to artificially create sub-exercises, which were not returned to the Federation Treasury, but rather deposited in the said instruments as a form of RECORDING. With the reform, the privileges of the Judiciary are in pain; The only thing that keeps them alive is the artificial respiration that the opposition gives them. he added.

The lawmaker proposed not to discuss that opinion in the session this Wednesday when it will be declared publicly, but in the following, so that the opposition has the opportunity to read and re-read this death sentence to the privileges of the Judiciary.

On the contrary, deputy Héctor Saúl Téllez (PAN) said that his party We were surprised to know Morena and the government’s strategy to suppress any organ or power that does not agree with them. This is what happened to the INE and the INAI (National Institute for Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data) and now they are attacking the autonomy of the Judiciary..

He considered that the reform was aggressive and retrograde; It weakened and hindered the autonomy of a Union power and opposed the development of labor rights of rank-and-file workers and middle managers..

Also, PAN member Leticia Zepeda Martínez assured that the reform is revenge for the resolutions adopted by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. They want a weak Judiciary in front of the National Palace considered.

According to the reform, if it becomes effective, the Judiciary must return the funds to the Federal Treasury.

However, PRI member José Yunes Zorrilla warned that the fourth transitional article of the initiative justifies the payment based on the provisions of article 12 of the Budget Law, which provides that if the confidence of Congress, the Judiciary is extinguished or autonomous which entities, the resources. must be returned to their respective storage.

If they want the money back, they have to change the temp, said. His proposal was rejected.
