In recent days, Roberto Gil, a prominent PAN member with experience in the Senate, his party, and the Calderón government, presented his candidacy for the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. His nomination occurs in a context where some people express concerns regarding partisan influence in justice and the potential loss of impartiality in judicial decisions.
It is suggested that the Morena justice could lean towards a social approach rather than a strictly legal one, which would generate controversy regarding the independence of the Judiciary and the guarantee of due process in cases involving the government or its dependencies.
There is a widespread perception of corruption in the Judiciary, with accusations even pointing to ministers exhibiting irregular conduct. The election of new judges for the Court has sparked criticism and raises questions about whether transparency and impartiality in judicial decisions will be maintained.
The appointment of new magistrates may revive practices of political influence in the judicial realm, raising questions about the true independence of the judicial system in relation to political powers. There is concern over the potential deterioration of individual freedoms and the possibility that judicial decisions may be influenced by interests outside of legality.
In this context, criticisms focus on the process of selecting candidates for judicial positions, questioning transparency and highlighting the existence of possible favoritism by authorities. The absence of checks and balances and the concentration of power in certain political sectors are also reasons for concern regarding the independence and impartiality of the judicial system.
