The strike by judges began two days after the strike by federal judiciary workers on August 19 in protest against the then-ruling constitutional reform to the judiciary.
Meanwhile, this morning, judicial workers held a protest at the Casa de Bolsa on Paseo de la Reforma, then moved to the United States Embassy, and then returned to their headquarters at the San Lázaro Palace of Justice, where they are holding a sit-in.

Yesterday morning, the workers of the Judicial Branch decided to lift the sit-in and blockade that they had maintained since September 3 at the Chamber of Deputies, following the approval of the judicial reform and the beginning of the endorsement in the state congresses.
However, they warned that now “the ball was in their court” and they would take all legal defense mechanisms they deem necessary to challenge the reform to the Judicial Branch.
