This creates tension in the opposition ahead of the 2026 budget negotiations. Opposition sources claim the executive branch is rushing these reforms with the aim of dismantling INFO NL—an agency historically allied with PAN—and to set the terms for judicial elections in advance, preventing it from becoming a bargaining chip for the 2027 elections. Ministers Lenia Batres and Sara Irene have admitted both issues for processing; however, their analysis and approval in plenary are still pending. The Citizen Movement (MC) was even in favor of extending the Judicial Reform, but the arithmetic no longer favors the executive after a legislator left the orange bloc. This undoubtedly disrupts negotiations for next year's budget package. Tension exists within the PRI-PAN front because both legislative initiatives are aligned with the Fourth Transformation (4T), just like the magistrates who make up the Court. Governor Samuel García's argument is that the Congress should have approved both reforms in March of this year when the deadline expired. The constitutional controversies presented by Governor Samuel García to force the local Congress to legislate on the Judicial Reform and the Transparency initiative are advancing in the Supreme Court. In MC, they point out that if the Court obligates the Congress to legislate on these matters, they could distance themselves from the opposition's setback. So far, PRI-PAN insists on a budget for INFO NL. This news outlet learned from civil society sources that the transparency agency is even rushing to form a front against the Palace of Cantera, as they have communicated directly with associations and other agencies to 'make themselves available' for any transparency requests—that would, of course, affect the state government—which is a totally anomalous situation.
