Judges and Retirees March in Mexico City Over Severance Delays as OAJ Sets Dec. 10 Payout Start

JUFED alleges police force at the protest, challenging the OAJ’s calculation methods.

Overview

  • Dismissed judges, retirees and judiciary workers marched from the OAJ offices on Avenida Revolución toward Insurgentes Sur to demand legally mandated indemnizations and complementary pensions.
  • Protesters called for payments aligned with the transitory reform formula of three months’ integrated salary plus 20 days per year of service for those who resigned after the June 1 elections.
  • The OAJ announced that liquidation payments to affected judges will begin on December 10, 2025, updating an administrative timeline that participants say has slipped since September.
  • JUFED reported attempts by Mexico City security forces to disperse demonstrators and voiced concern about delayed or incomplete payments and calculation criteria that could reduce severance.
  • An ex‑magistrate criticized reported requirements to appear in person with official ID and a witness on December 10, noting roughly 800 judges nationwide were separated and affected by the process.
