Supreme Court Resignations Amid Judicial Reform Debate

Tomorrow, it is expected that almost all ministers of the Supreme Court of Mexico will tender their resignations, occurring ahead of discussions around a project declaring the judicial reform proposed by the current regime partially invalid. This prohibition against the reforms is championed by Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, who argues that the existing judicial system fails to provide the legal certainty essential for a democracy. The debate will focus on preserving certain methods for electing judges and magistrates while discrediting the current system. The ministers' resignations, which will take effect until summer next year, create a tense political atmosphere in Mexico, where opposing parties such as the PAN and PRI have filed actions of unconstitutionality. Clashes between the legislative and judicial branches are palpable, with threats of a constitutional crisis should the Court decide against the reform proposal. Six states remain in judicial strike, exacerbating the situation as violence in the country escalates, marked by clashes in Sinaloa. This scenario reflects internal tensions and political polarization in Mexico, generating uncertainty about the future of the judicial system and governance in the country.
