Sheinbaum He criticized the Supreme Court because last Thursday, by eight votes to three, it accepted protections from judges and magistrates to review the constitutional reform that former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador promulgated on September 15 to elect the Judiciary at the polls.
The members of the SCJN related to the Government accused their colleagues of a “technical coup d’état”, but Sheinbaum rejected this adjective and denied acting against the members of the Court.
“What do I think they intend with this? First, let us say: ‘political trial, treason’. We’re not going to do it, that’s my opinion, because what do they want?
