Overview
Al más puro estilo de las organizaciones criminales, como si se tratara de un cártel, así opera el Poder Judicial en México. No es fortuito. Pareciera que este órgano ha sido secuestrado y convertido en una cofradía de letrados, hombres y mujeres, que se olvidaron de la más alta encomienda de impartición de justicia.
J. Jesús Lemus usa el argot criminal como analogía para entender este nivel de gobierno como un poder fallido, pues en términos generales, nos dice el autor, hoy opera como si se tratara de una organización criminal más, como una de las tantas que perviven en México. Solo que esta "organización" no opera desde la clandestinidad. En lo que Lemus denomina el Cártel Judicial se cambiaron las casas de seguridad por juzgados, los centros clandestinos de mando por lujosas oficinas, los uniformes de faena, armas y carrilleras por togas, jurisprudencias y amparos, y todos los juzgadores caminan empoderados, intocables, sin ser molestados o cuestionados por la opinión pública.
El Cártel Judicial es una investigación periodística de largo alcance que pretende exponer de cuerpo completo los vicios enquistados dentro del Poder Judicial. Aquí hay nombres y datos precisos, casos detallados, eventos judiciales particulares que pretenden contribuir a la exposición de las causas que hacen evidente y urgente la necesidad de una reforma constitucional que modifique la estructura actual de este poder y garantice la supresión de los jueces-dioses que hoy tenemos: poderosos, inalcanzables, antidemocráticos y oscuros.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Judicial Cartel can be as lethal as the most violent criminal groups. A sentence—groundless, given lightly, without any proof, with tainted evidence, or to satisfy personal interests—can be worse than death.
In the purest style of criminal organizations, Mexico’s Judicial Power operates as if it were a cartel. It is not fortuitous. It would seem this branch has been overrun and turned into a guild of lawyers, both men and women, neglecting the highest duty of imparting justice.
J. Jesús Lemus uses criminal slang as analogy to understand this branch of the government as a failing power, since generally speaking, states the author, it operates as if it were just another criminal organization, one of many that thrive in Mexico. Only that this particular “organization” does not operate underground. In what Lemus calls the Judicial Cartel, drop houses are replaced by courtrooms; clandestine command centers are now luxurious offices; work clothes, guns, and chinstraps are traded for robes, jurisprudence, and injunctions, and every judge walks empowered, untouchable, unbothered or questioned by public opinion.
Judicial Cartel stems from wide-raging investigative journalism aiming to expose the full length of the Judicial Power’s ingrown vices. Here you will find names and accurate information, detailed cases, particular judiciary events that intend to contribute in the exposition of the very reasons that make the need for a constitutional reform obvious and urgent, one that modifies the current structure of power and guarantees a full suppression of these judge-gods we have today: powerful, unreachable, antidemocratic, and dark.
