Mexico City, September 9 (RHC)-- Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has criticized the opposition for sowing uncertainty around the changes, on the eve of the decisive week regarding the future of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF).

“They are trying to confuse us with the idea that there is a lot of instability because we are going to carry out the judicial reform. What fear are they going to have, if what we want is to banish corruption?” said the president.

On his tour of the southeast of the country, accompanied by the president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, the president stressed that during his administration the peso has strengthened and, as has not happened for 50 years, it has revalued and maintained its value, 20 days before the end of the six-year term.

In this context, he attacked the conservative bloc, which warns of a possible economic impact of the constitutional amendment.

“What is the fear?  What do you think?  That judges, magistrates and ministers are elected by the president, the senators, the parties, or the people? That is all (…) And how do we do it?  Well, with the people, who are the ones who help purify public life,” he said.

During the inauguration of the El Jaguar park in Tulum, the president opened a space in his speech to criticize the opposition strategies, and highlighted the need for reform, because it is essential to end this revolving door in justice, said López Obrador.

Later, in a second event held in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, in a brief interview, the president refused to talk about the presence of the president of the Court, Norma Piña, in the protests of PJF workers.

Piña supported the sit-in of workers from the Judicial Branch of the Federation and chanted slogans against the constitutional reform in this matter.
