At a commemorative event for the anniversary of the Constitution, Esquivel mentioned that the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary is the only entity with the authority to issue rulings on the electoral process. In supporting the election by the upper chamber of this body, the minister emphasized that there is no going back and that the election of judges will take place on June 1 of this year.
In her statements, Minister Esquivel recalled that the Electoral Tribunal specified that it is the final instance in electoral matters related to the Judiciary. She confirmed that the Upper Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal has already ordered the election to be held, with the prior selection of candidates and the start of the campaign process, which will take place in the months of April and May. Esquivel emphasized that there is no possibility of halting the election, which was established in the reform to the Judiciary, approved by a qualified majority in both chambers and ratified by the majority of state congresses.
