A few weeks before the elections for the Judiciary, much attention has been paid to the least suitable profiles for positions, while little has been mentioned about candidates with relevant experience and knowledge, especially at a crucial moment like the current one, marked by the USMCA and the need for legal certainty for investments in Mexico.
Among the standout candidates is Ricardo Sodi Cuellar, whose career includes the implementation of labor reform in Mexico, service in the Mexican Foreign Service, litigation in the United States, and academic activity abroad. Sodi Cuellar has served as president of the Judiciary of the State of Mexico and his proposals to strengthen justice have been taken as a model by several states in the country. Additionally, his international participation, fluency in English and German, and his presence at international conferences position him as a candidate with experience and preparation for the SCJN.
Other candidates such as Yasmin Esquivel Mossa and Rebeca Aladro are also mentioned as solid options to provide legal certainty to the business sector. It is crucial to thoroughly review and consider the profiles of those who will occupy positions in the Court, especially at a time of legal challenges with the United States and Canada on trade, energy, investment, and intellectual property issues.
In another area, the signing of an agreement for the creation of a trust between Mexico City, led by Clara Brugada, and the Secretary of Finance, Juan Pablo de Botton, has been announced. This trust, generated from an increase in the payroll tax in the city, will be allocated to investments in mobility and improvements for the city in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup. Transparency in the use of these resources will be essential, and it is expected that the trust can be audited to ensure its proper application.
At a relevant event, the Banking Convention is taking place at the Vidanta complex, where Emilio Romano assumes the presidency of the Mexican Banking Association (ABM). During the next two years of his term, they will focus on the digitization of financial services in collaboration with the government, aiming to promote banking in the country.
Finally, in Tlaxcala, despite being a small entity, it stands out for receiving significant investments in recent years, attracting companies and generating jobs in sectors such as automotive, metalworking, textiles, among others. The strategic location of the state has been leveraged to attract important investments, such as those planned for this year, which promise to boost economic and labor development in the region.
