Overview
- After protests outside its offices, the Órgano de Administración Judicial told a commission it has requested a 6,500 million peso budget increase from the Finance Ministry to cover the payouts.
- The mandated severance equals three months of integrated salary plus 20 days per year of service, with proportional 2025 year-end bonus and vacation also slated for payment.
- An estimated 800 to 900 former judges and magistrates qualify under the transitory article of the 2024 judicial reform.
- No payment date has been set, and organizers plan to return on November 12 to press for inclusion of the issue in upcoming budget deliberations in the Chamber of Deputies.
- Judicial groups allege that Nacional Financiera diverted Judicature trust resources to the federal treasury, a move they say could jeopardize the funds intended for these payments.
