The Supreme Court of Justice on Tuesday dismissed the actions that sought to stop the Judicial Reform after the required votes of the ministers to declare it unconstitutional were not achieved.
Only seven of the 11 ministers of the high court supported the draft judgment of Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá who considered the invalidity of part of the reform and suspended the election by popular vote from the judges.
The Supreme Court explained that the decision “does not imply that any declaration is made” about the validity of the amendment.
The Judicial Reform was challenged before the Court by the opposition parties National Action, Institutional Revolutionary, Citizen Movement and the Democratic Union of Coahuila, and the representatives of the Congress of the central state of Zacatecas who asked for the annulment of the initiative.

Likewise, the governing majority of Congress last week approved an amendment to protect the changes made to the Magna Carta and prevent the modifications from being blocked in the courts.
