Overview
- The Court upheld the reduction of pensioners’ year‑end bonus from 60 to 30 days only for pensions that began on or after August 11, 2024.
- Ministers invalidated articles 128 and 128 Bis, which sought to condition pension payments and benefits on ISSSTEZAC’s financial capacity.
- Minister Loretta Ortiz Ahlf revised her draft after opposition, leaving only article 74 in force while removing clauses that would let the institute excuse obligations.
- The case stemmed from a challenge filed by María Estela Ríos González as federal legal counsel, and she later argued as a minister that workers should not bear losses from the institute’s shortfall.
- Union and grassroots groups continued to oppose the reform, citing depleted reserves and alleged mismanagement and warning of impacts on thousands of retirees and active employees.
