Ninth Administrative District Judge Elizabeth Trejo in Mexico City issued a permanent stay, depriving the federal government of access to more than 15 billion pesos in the Trusts of the Judiciary of the Federation (PJF).
The suspension granted by Trejo Galán aims to prevent the allocation of the resources mentioned in the decree and thus protect the acquired rights of PJF members in the field of labor and social security.
The consequence is also the suspension of all effects of the decree dissolving the trusts, published on October 27 in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF).
Trejo Galán considered that the above remedies could cause damage that would be difficult to repair and further stated that the suspension granted did not harm the public interest.
The judge’s decision is in response to the safeguards outlined by the government’s National Association of District and District Judges (JUFED) against the abolition of trusts.
Froylán Muñoz, national director of the National Association of Magistrates and District Judges of the PJF (JUFED), confirmed the suspension of the decree proposing the abolition of PJF trusts.
At a press conference, he emphasized that this measure also undermines the court’s confidence and should lead to a final constitutional decision and not just a political decision.
Muñoz emphasized that the federal government has not determined the intended use of trust funds or how they will meet the needs of the population.
Likewise, Judge Trejo emphasized the importance of leaving things as they are, so as not to jeopardize the vested rights of PJF employees and to preserve the judicial function.
Although the government has the opportunity to appeal the decision, a federal court will have jurisdiction to decide whether the suspension is upheld or revoked.
This precautionary measure includes the suspension of all effects of the decision to dissolve the trusts, published on October 27 in the Official Gazette of the Federation.
In addition, the judiciary acts as trustee and you should refrain from coordinating any action to dispose of the trusts. This prevents the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) from allocating funds to National Development Plan programs.
This means that there are now two barriers to using trust funds. Last week, a judge in Chihuahua granted the first of these, but only in respect of four of the thirteen dissolved trusts.
