Overview

  • The Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial was formally installed under president Celia Maya García for a two-year term with a mandate to supervise conduct rather than revisit rulings.
  • Magistrates warned of severe penalties, including prison, for corrupt behavior or unjustified delays, while pledging due process and rejecting a political inquisitorial role.
  • The Órgano de Administración Judicial began operations led by Néstor Vargas Solano, taking over budgeting and administrative controls and preparing the judiciary’s budget submission.
  • Supreme Court president Hugo Aguilar Ortiz and Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez attended the ceremonies, as leaders emphasized salary and benefit cuts as part of an austerity plan.
  • The TEPJF’s Sala Superior seated Claudia Valle Aguilasocho and Gilberto de Guzmán Bátiz García, restoring seven members after 19 months of vacancies, with Bátiz set to assume the presidency on November 1.
