The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) will analyze the draft judgment by Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carranca, which suggests partially invalidating the judicial reform implemented on September 15. This decision was made in a private session by the 11 ministers that make up the Plenary of the Supreme Court, following a request for priority attention made by the President of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, to resolve the actions of unconstitutionality presented against the reform.
The actions of unconstitutionality were filed by various political parties and legislators at both the federal and state levels, questioning aspects such as the election of judges and magistrates by popular vote. During the private session, it was determined that the request for priority attention was valid and was approved.
Minister Juan Luis Gonzalez Alcántara Carranca proposes to validate some articles of the judicial reform while partially invalidating those related to the election of judges and magistrates through Selection Committees and mass popular votes.
Both the National Strategic Lithium Council and the SCJN published separate summaries of Minister Carranca's draft judgment, highlighting that it is proposed to invalidate the election of federal judges and magistrates through Selection Committees and popular votes due to their potential harm to judicial autonomy and independence. Nevertheless, the election by popular vote is maintained for a specific group of Court members.
