Alonso Ancira sued López Obrador for violating his rights and transgressing 10 articles

---

The president of Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA) Alonso Ancira accused of having sold the Agronitrogenados scrap plant to Pemex at a surcharge and who is detained in Spain awaiting his extradition to Mexico, filed a complaint against the chief executive, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. According to the journalist Raymundo Riva Palacio in his column in El Financiero , the businessman sued the Mexican president in the Administrative District Courts in Mexico City for having violated his rights by transgressing 10 constitutional articles and one more of the American Convention on Human Rights and demanded that the Judiciary rule on the morning conferences.

Riva Palacio explained that the scope of the lawsuit transcends the Ancira case, asking for answers to find out if the grievances that dozens of people, groups or institutions have received in the morning calls fit within the law. He revealed that the claim for indirect protection that was presented last Wednesday in the District Courts for Administrative Matters in the capital of the country, refers to the statements made by López Obrador in his traditional conferences, which at the same time places that instrument of power in the dock.

Ancira's claim for protection says, the power held by the President of the Republic has a scope of enormous magnitude and the statements he has made imply an intimidation of the national judges. With their manifestations, the possibility of the principle of judicial independence being operative and effective is seriously undermined.

The journalist stressed that what he refers to is the ruling he obtained from a judge in Chiapas on August 13 against the arrest warrant requested by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) for the crime of operations with resources of illicit origin, considering that the crimes against him had prescribed . Riva Palacio recalled that López Obrador's reaction was almost immediate, since after the judge's ruling the lawsuit indicates, between August 20 and at least September 4, the president began to refer to Ancira as guilty of the criminal acts that are imputed to him and to suggest that the protection they gave him had been obtained in an“ irregular manner .

The journalist stressed that this situation alters due process as reflected in the doctrine of the corrupting effect that the current president of the Supreme Court, Arturo Zaldívar, elaborated in the Cassez case.

Ancira's lawsuit says, the acts that are claimed are precisely the public statements or statements, made by the President of the Republic, showing said investiture (and not that of an individual) in relation to the criminal process facing the complaining. These manifestations are clearly harmful to the human rights and guarantees of the impetrant, directly, to access plural information (timely and truthful) and indirectly to the presumption of innocence, due process and access to impartial justice.
