Overview
- The 79-member plenary gave Guerra 60 votes in an extraordinary session, clearing the required two‑thirds threshold.
- His new mandate runs from January 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027, making it a third consecutive term and bringing his tenure to eight years.
- After debating vote secrecy, magistrates decided by a 43-vote majority to preserve paper ballots rather than destroy them.
- Outside the venue, judicial employees staged a stoppage seeking wage increases and objecting to his candidacy, citing heavy workloads, delayed benefits and alleged abuses of power.
- Guerra’s plan prioritizes labor protections, a Unidad Violeta and mandatory gender and human-rights training, alongside gradual AI-driven digitalization and oversight of the civil and family procedures reform that shifts to administrative management units despite current backlogs.
