New Mexican Supreme Court Posts Pay Cuts, Sets Sept. 11 Debut, Orders Pension Review

An austerity drive accompanies new rules to deliver rulings within six months.

Overview

  • Official postings show most ministers now net 137,582 pesos per month, slightly below President Claudia Sheinbaum’s 138,878 pesos reported by press, with Lenia Batres at 128,992 pesos after returning income and waiving benefits.
  • Court President Hugo Aguilar Ortiz will ask the Órgano de Administración Judicial to review and adjust retired ministers’ remunerations and eliminate excessive supports, as 17 retirees cost the judiciary over 2.2 million pesos monthly.
  • The Pleno approved 14 agreements to enforce the constitutional six‑month deadline, including a public platform to track case times and mandatory explanations to the Tribunal de Disciplina when deadlines are missed.
  • The first public session is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 11, with initial matters drawn from projects by Lenia Batres, Loretta Ortiz and Yasmín Esquivel following a private session that organized assignments and procedures.
  • The new administrative body installed leadership and named 11 men to key posts such as the Federal Public Defender’s Office and training school, prompting parity criticism as it pledged transparency, oversight and strict austerity.
