Mexico City. At least four social groups will demonstrate this Thursday in front of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJN), in one of the largest demonstrations since the new members of the Plenary of Ministers were appointed on September 1.

According to the groups’ own calls, members of the Pena Sin Culpa Collective, the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life Collective (Mexico Chapter), and the Mexican Union of United Electricians and Delivery Workers of Mexico will arrive at the Supreme Court in Mexico City’s historic center.

The Pena Sin Culpa collective will appear before the Supreme Court this Thursday to demand that the judiciary comply with the ruling of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the García Rodríguez et al. vs. Mexico case, which declared pretrial detention and arraigo (house arrest) contrary to human rights. They will also request a meeting with Justice Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, a public hearing under the Court’s new format, and that two justices recuse themselves from hearing the case.

A mobilization called by members of the Mexican Union of Electricians (SME) is also planned to protest “the workers attacked by the union leadership and the neoliberal state” and to demand that the ministers review the case of the dissolution of Luz y Fuerza del Centro.

In addition, since last Wednesday night, a three-day sit-in has been held outside the High Court by the Mesoamerican Caravan collective, in solidarity with the Zapatista communities “who are being attacked in Chiapas.”

The organization Repartidores Unidos por México, made up of workers from digital food delivery platforms, is expected to demonstrate to demand that the Supreme Court halt the 2 percent tax on delivery workers, arguing that it directly affects their income.

The Plenary has listed for discussion a bill by Minister Lenia Batres Guadarrama, which proposes that food and package delivery platforms, by intensively utilizing urban infrastructure, should contribute financially for their use, allocating those resources to city maintenance.
