Morena's 'Puros y Duros' Seek to Postpone Judicial Election to 2028

The 'Puros y Duros' faction of Morena is seeking to postpone the Judicial Election to 2028. This weekend, federal deputy Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar made public the legislative project to hold the next judicial election on the first Sunday of June 2028, considering that this democratic exercise must be independent of the voting for popular representation posts. Due to the time constraint, this change of date would be included in the Electoral Reform that will be presented in the coming days to the Congress of the Union," explained Ramírez Cuéllar. Ramírez Cuéllar is already negotiating with the PT and preparing his launch in Zacatecas with the help of Narro. "It is a great democratic achievement that we can now elect the people who will judge," he stated. This would also decrease the risk of associating judicial candidacies with certain political parties. The 2027 election will be the largest in history, and according to the agenda of the National Electoral Institute, it would coincide with the renewal of 17 governorships, all members of San Lázaro, and the majority of mayoralties and regidurías in the country. In addition to the mid-term elections, from the National Palace, they insist on aligning the legislative elections with the recall process, which, as happened with President López Obrador, will become a ratification process for Claudia Sheinbaum. However, the 2027 electoral agenda will also host the second part of the Judicial Election after the 2025 process. That is, legislative, recall, and judicial in a single process. But at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the candidacies meet the necessary parameters of competence to carry out this important work," continued the Morena federal deputy. This news outlet was able to confirm with members of Luisa María Alcalde's inner circle, whose family, like Ramírez Cuéllar's, has always belonged to the 'Puros y Duros' of Morena, that delaying the Judicial Election by one year will prevent governors from taking control of the candidacies for judges and magistrates, as happened with several profiles last year. In order to prevent state interests from being imposed again, the 'Puros y Duros' are seeking to concentrate the approval of candidacies in the federal Executive Power. "It is essential to ensure the independence of the judiciary, both from political currents and from economic interests," reproached Ramírez Cuéllar, acknowledging that the 4T is at war with the 4T. "Disappear the evaluation committees of the three Powers of the Union," as "they evidenced many difficulties" in the "different criteria for defining the lists." Now in San Lázaro and in the Senate of the Republic, they would not have the possibility of promoting their own profiles, the same profiles endorsed and promoted previously by the governors of their states of origin. We must maintain universal, free, and secret voting. Morenistas against neomorenistas, expanistas, expriistas.
