Overview
- The Human Rights Commission of the Mexico City Congress completed two blocks of public interviews with eight shortlisted aspirants to lead the CDHCM for 2025–2029.
- After the hearings, the commission declared itself in permanent session to receive deputies’ evaluation ballots and prepare the appointment draft.
- Under the rules, each deputy scores the contenders on an evaluation sheet, and the top‑rated profile will be proposed to the plenary, where approval requires a two‑thirds majority.
- The shortlist was drawn from 28 applicants who met statutory criteria including at least 10 years of experience and residence in the capital.
- Candidates highlighted autonomy, funding for specialized visitadurías and training, quicker case handling, outreach to alcaldías, and improved internal labor conditions; citizen comments can still be submitted through October 24.
