BTN News: Morena’s leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Ignacio Mier, says that fears about judicial reform causing problems are not true. Mier, who will soon be a senator, said these fears are not based on facts. He pointed out that national meetings have shown the real problems in Mexico’s justice system. Many innocent people are in jail, and many criminals are free. This happens because some judges do not make good decisions.
National Forums Show Need for Judicial Reform
Mier explained that many people agree on the need for change in the justice system. Ministers, judges, workers, lawmakers, and experts all see the need for reform. The Mexican people also showed their support for change in the June 2nd elections. This agreement shows that not all judges and workers are against the reform. The public wants judges who are not influenced by money, politics, or corruption.
Judicial Reform Will Not Stop the Justice System
Mier also said that the fear of the justice system stopping is not true. The new model includes a plan to keep the system working smoothly during the change. He assured that the rights of all workers, including archivists, court clerks, and secretaries, will be protected. These rights will not only be kept but also improved. The reform will help staff move up in their careers. This means that qualified workers can become judges based on their skills and hard work.
New Opportunities for Judicial Staff to Advance
Mier criticized the current system where staff members need powerful connections to become judges. Even with good qualifications and experience, they cannot advance without a sponsor. The reform will change this. It will allow staff to move up based on their professional achievements. This will give fair opportunities to all qualified workers in the justice system.
