The President of Mexico, Zaldívar, seeks the support of Minister Ortiz Mena to dismiss the growing claims of unconstitutionality against the judicial reform. Ortiz Mena has had approaches with the ruling party, revealing a known situation.
The government advisor has intensified efforts to attract Ortiz Mena to the ruling party circle, with a particular interest in strengthening bilateral relations with the United States. Zaldívar's strategy is based on arguments such as the alleged lack of real powers of the Court to prevent the election of judges, arguing that this debate belongs to society when they go to the polls.
For Zaldívar, it is crucial to secure the judicial reform to envision a future in a Government where he could have a more prominent role. Meanwhile, from the ruling party, the idea is spread that the popular election for the Court will be transparent and that opposition parties will have opportunities to compete for seats on the tribunal.
