The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, has unveiled five proposals to integrate the Evaluation Committee for candidates for judges, magistrates, ministers, and members of the Judicial Discipline Tribunal. Through his social media, Gutiérrez Luna mentioned that the proposed candidates are Maday Merino Damián, Maribel Concepción Méndez de Lara, Ana Patricia Briseño Torres, María Gabriela Sánchez García, and Andrés García Rapper Favila.
The Evaluation Committee will serve as a filter to select candidates who will be voted on in June 2025 to occupy the positions of judges, magistrates, and ministers in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), as well as in the Judicial Discipline Tribunal. A formal proposal for the members of the Evaluation Committee will soon be made, determining the eligibility of individuals to occupy judicial positions in the 2024-2025 extraordinary electoral process.
Andrés Norberto García Rapper Favila was the representative of the party before the Electoral Institute of Tamaulipas. Maribel Concepción Méndez de Lara was supported by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to be a magistrate of the Agrarian Superior Tribunal in 2020. Ana Patricia Briseño Torres was elected by Morena to preside over the Sonoran Institute of Transparency in 2023. Maday Merino Damián was the president councilor of the Electoral Institute and Citizen Participation of Tabasco. María Gabriela Sánchez García was a magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice of Sinaloa and is currently a senator for Morena.
The PAN has refused to participate in the Evaluation Committee, citing a lack of transparency and legitimacy in the process. In a statement, the PAN criticized Morena for turning Congress into a factory of complicities and declared that they will not be complicit in what they consider a farce, accusing the ruling party of "trampling on the legislative process" and fabricating consensus to advance an "authoritarian agenda."
