AMLO wants ministers of the SCJN to be elected by the vote of the people. This was announced in the morning of this May 9, where he dedicated a good amount of time to talk about this initiative, after the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation invalidated part of plan B of the electoral reform.
According to AMLO, what is coming is a reform to the Judiciary for what “the people elect the ministers”.
AMLO wants SCJN ministers to be elected by vote of the people
“In September I send at least 3 reforms, other social ones are coming, that of the Judiciary so that the people elect the ministers as established by the Liberal Constitution of 1857, at the time of Benito Juárez”.
But that is not all. In addition to the fact that AMLO wants the ministers of the SCJN to be elected by vote, the president dedicated a few minutes to… plan C —so that in general the reforms for which it has opted can pass.
Although that would be in 2024. Yes, when AMLO is no longer in the Presidency, but yes so that the president who stays —if he is from Morena— has a chance to better maneuver the initiatives in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
What will Plan C of the Electoral Reform be about? The Secretary of the Interior Adán Augusto had already sung it: the bet is that in the 2024 elections Morena achieves a majority in the Chambers with the popular vote.
heading to 2024
And already with that qualified majority —which basically means having two thirds or three quarters of the total number of votes in Congress, that is, the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, here we leave you a detailed note of what that majority implies— the president or the president who stays will be able to pass their initiatives without fail.
And here AMLO fell into a kind of campaign because “advised” people to not only vote for the president or the president, but also for the places that will be played in the Congress of the Union (Senate and Chamber of Deputies) to pass the constitutional reforms of Morena.
(Be careful, for a constitutional reform to pass, a qualified majority is needed).
“When it comes to voting, you are not voting only for president, no, Congress is very important and they can be achieved, if the elections were to be held today. People are in favor of transformation, there are polls where we have approval up to 80%”, said the good AMLO. What do you think about tooodo what has happened in the Legislature and the SCJN?
