Mexico’s Supreme Court to Fix Vote-Count Error on CFE Pension Case

An internal recount showed the proposal lacked a majority, leaving no binding rule on CFE pension back pay.

Overview

  • A post-session verification found the real tally was five ministers against and four in favor, so the project did not pass.
  • The Court will submit a corrected session record for a formal vote on Monday to nullify the mistaken announcement.
  • The miscount was attributed to newly installed secretary of agreements Daniel Álvarez Toledo, who wrongly declared a majority.
  • The proposal from Court president Hugo Aguilar Ortiz sought to require a prior union-filed request before workers could claim retroactive pension payments from CFE.
  • With no approved criterion, judges will continue to resolve similar pension disputes case by case, and the matter stems from contradictory rulings by collegiate tribunals.
