Mexico City Police Break Up Judges’ Severance Protest as Ousted Jurists Press for Full Payouts

Organizers reject the OAJ’s December 10 payout plan, citing improper calculations plus onerous collection rules.

Overview

  • Federal judges and magistrates removed under the judicial reform marched from the OAJ headquarters on Avenida Revolución to Insurgentes Sur to demand full severance and complementary pensions.
  • After hours of blockades on Insurgentes Sur, city police pushed protesters back to the sidewalk to reopen traffic, with no injuries reported.
  • JUFED denounced the use of force against retired jurists and called it inconsistent with the OAJ’s public appeals for dialogue.
  • The OAJ has said severance payments will begin on December 10, though judges object to required in‑person collection with a witness and dispute the formulas being used.
  • Leaders say roughly 800 affected adjudicators remain unpaid under the Article Tenth Transitory provision and warn that delays are straining families’ finances.
