Bernardo Bátiz Runs for the Supreme Court

Bernardo Bátiz has gained relevance in the 4T regarding his possible candidacy to preside over the Judicial Discipline Tribunal, challenging the ministers and their aspirations for the Presidency of the Supreme Court of Justice. Proposed by the Evaluation Committee of the Executive Power led by Arturo Zaldívar, Bátiz has been mentioned as an influential candidate in the new Supreme Court of Justice.

Bátiz's strategy to take this position has been described as a bold move to shake up the established judicial structures, forging alliances and generating tensions with various actors in the Judiciary, as demonstrated by his previous actions related to judges and the Judicial Reform implemented by the 4T.

His track record as the Attorney General of Mexico City during López Obrador's administration has been highlighted as proof of his ability to hold high-level positions, demonstrating diplomatic skills even in politically conflicted situations. Previous collaborations with key figures such as Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and lawyer for Donald Trump, have been emphasized as assets in his career.

The possibility of Bátiz assuming the Presidency of the Court would signal autonomy and respect for the separation of powers in the current government, which, according to him, could have positive repercussions on agreements such as the review of the USMCA that is expected to begin shortly.

Amidst votes and selections for relevant judicial positions, the constant presence of Bernardo Bátiz's name stands out. His potential role in promoting legal certainty for foreign investors, particularly Americans, could be key in the political and economic future of Mexico.
