Overview
- Hugo Aguilar Ortiz said the reform returns sovereignty to citizens and insisted the Supreme Court’s independence and autonomy are guaranteed.
- He added he has been in office for two months and does not owe his position to any political actor, framing his agenda as transforming the Judiciary.
- During his UNAM appearance, law students alleged the use of 'acordeones' in recent selections led to unfit appointments and undermined judicial independence.
- A student pressed Aguilar on potential ties to Morena and asked if he would resign if proven, and he ended his participation without answering.
- TEPJF magistrate Felipe de la Mata Pizaña proposed replacing the 'tómbola' with a merit-based system and estimated roughly a decade to evaluate the reform’s impact ahead of the 2027 judicial elections.
