- Morena's congressional majority is fast-tracking judicial reform through legislative committee discussions. The party's lawmakers in both the Chamber of Deputies and Senate have made the judicial restructuring initiative a top priority.
The proposal would fundamentally reshape how Mexico selects judges, magistrates, and Supreme Court justices, while also redefining the powers of bodies like the Federal Judicial Council. Under the legislative process, the relevant committees have received the bill for review ahead of a floor vote.
The measure aligns with the current legislature's stated commitments and enjoys backing from the ruling coalition.
Opposition lawmakers have raised concerns about the scope of the changes and potential risks to judicial independence. Debate is proceeding under constitutional guidelines and the internal rules of each chamber.
