The president of the Supreme Court of Justice was not invited to the anniversary ceremony of the Constitution, where a reform was discussed that prohibits re-election at all levels of government and legislative level, as well as the nomination of individuals with direct relationships to those who have held similar positions recently.
During the presentation of the reform, the lack of direct evidence linking individuals investigated for operations with illicitly obtained funds in family businesses was noted. After a four-year investigation, no criminal action was taken, generating controversy over the application of the law.
This situation gained relevance since Ruth Miriam González Silva, senator for the PVEM and a possible candidate for the governorship of San Luis Potosí, is married to Ricardo Gallardo Cardona, whose family was involved in the mentioned investigation.
The constitutional reform proposed by Claudia Sheinbaum seeks to prohibit nepotism in public office, preventing relatives from immediately replacing others in elected positions. Although it was initially planned to come into effect by 2027, it was postponed until 2030, allowing political figures like Félix Salgado, Saúl Monreal, and Ruth González to seek governorships in 2027.
On the other hand, an investigation by the FGR against former governor of San Luis Potosí, Ricardo Gallardo Juárez, was closed in November 2024. This investigation originated from allegations of illicit transfers between 2013 and 2017, amounting to 724 million pesos, which could not be sufficiently proven, resulting in the case being archived.
