Overview

• The Órgano de Administración Judicial finalized the reductions, and the Court’s directory now lists ministers at 137,582.27 pesos net per month.
• In a Radio Fórmula interview, Loretta Ortiz called the reduction “very, very strong” and noted her private secretary earns 110,000 pesos.
• Ortiz said she accepted lower pay as a condition of the popular election but urged a review of benefits given the scope of ministers’ responsibilities.
• Minister President Hugo Aguilar Ortiz’s austerity plan eliminated private medical insurance and early-retirement pensions, shifted coverage to ISSSTE, and projects roughly 800 million pesos in annual savings.
• Public reaction on social media was critical while the policy stands, with the Court citing the remuneration law that bars officials from earning more than the president.
