A critical situation that demands urgent attention
Imagine arriving at your workplace and not having even the most essential things to perform your duties. This is how judges, employees and collaborators live today in multiple federal courts in Mexico, where the lack of resources has reached unprecedented levels.
A handwritten cry for help
Judge José Jorge Rojas López, of the Third District in Matters of Domain Forfeiture, stated in a handwritten statement placed at the entrance to his premises: “Due to the lack of inputs… this body will stop delivering physical records”. Incredible but true! Of five printers, three are damaged and two are out of toner.
This reality is repeated in CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Campeche and Veracruz, where technological equipment is obsolete, paper is scarce even in the bathrooms, and the air conditioning systems have not worked for weeks. How can we expect agile and efficient justice in these conditions?
The root of the problem: reforms and cuts
Internal sources indicate that this operational crisis is due to the budget reduction and the imminent disappearance of the Federal Judiciary Council. Since January, contracts with suppliers have not been renewed, generating a domino effect that puts the entire system at risk.
In the Judicial City of Guadalajara, employees report that they are missing everything from cleaning products to spare parts for elevators. In Monterrey, workers have had to buy paper with their own money. This is not sustainable!
Motivational reflection: In any field, adequate resources are the foundation of success. When a system lacks the basics, we all lose. But every crisis is an opportunity to reinvent yourself, raise your voice and seek creative solutions.
