Overview
- Electronic notices dated January 30 were issued nationwide to confianza personnel and signed by OAJ human resources chief Laura Sandra Hasbach Melchor.
- The reductions implement the Acuerdo de Disciplina Presupuestaria 2026, which mandates a 10% drawdown in administrative staffing to shrink annual structural expenses by the end of January.
- Judicial officials say the measure targets non‑jurisdictional administrative posts within bodies such as the OAJ and the Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial, not court or tribunal operations.
- Union representatives condemned the terminations, highlighting cases of long tenure and the lack of indemnification for confianza employees.
- OAJ leadership continues court visits and meetings to address case backlogs and resource needs as part of a broader efficiency drive.
