Mexico’s Court Administrator Seeks 6.5 Billion Pesos to Pay Ousted Judges’ Indemnizations

The judicial administration says it has asked the Finance Ministry for a budget increase to fund constitutionally mandated payouts that remain unpaid.

Overview

  • Roughly 800 to 900 former judges and magistrates have yet to receive indemnizations guaranteed by the reform’s tenth transitory article.
  • The Órgano de Administración Judicial told a protesters’ commission it filed for a budget expansion with the Finance Ministry, with multiple reports citing a 6.5 billion–peso request.
  • Officials indicated pending liquidations would include proportional year-end benefits such as holiday bonus and vacation pay for 2025.
  • Ex-judges blocked Avenida Revolución outside the OAJ offices in Mexico City, were later received by officials, and plan to return on November 12 ahead of budget votes.
  • The Renovación del PJF union announced a nationwide suspension of work on Friday, as allegations persist that Nafin transferred judicature trust funds to the federal treasury and no payment dates have been set.
