1. Resolute. The judicial reform promoted by Claudia Sheinbaum remains firm, thanks to a transitional article that eliminates any obstacle to its implementation. While the SCJN, of Norma Piñastill gives rise to challenges from political parties, Sheinbaum He makes it clear: “It is a decision of the people” and there will be no going back. The transitional article repeals contradictory provisions, such as the method of electing the president of the Court and the duration of his mandate. Ernestina GodoyLegal Advisor to the Presidency, and Arturo Zaldivargeneral coordinator of Politics and Government, ratify: the subsequent law annuls the previous one. There is no more.
2. Effective coordination. Adam Augusto Lopezcoordinator of the Morena senators in the Senate, and Rose Icela Rodriguezhead of Segob, achieved what seemed complicated: unblocking the conflict in the Federal Judiciary Council. His intervention allowed crucial information for the election of federal judges to flow, despite the opposition of the minister president. Norma Piña. This is not minor, since the relationship between Powers is key to the stability of the country. Both showed that, with dialogue and decision, it is possible to find solutions to complex issues. And nothing as complex as judicial reform.
3. Double triumph. Claudia Sheinbaumpresident of Mexico, managed to get Morena and allies to rethink their own proposal and remove the controversial right of veto for candidates for federal judges, showing that their power lies not in following the line, but in correcting it.

The magistrate Felipe Fuentes Barrera issues a warning to the electoral authorities, such as Guadalupe Taddei from the INE already Jose Luis Vargasfrom the Superior Chamber of the TEPJF: the constitutional reform on judicial elections is coming at an accelerated pace. In the midst of conferences and awards, Fuentes warns that the speed with which this reform is implemented will require quick and successful decisions for the “good of the people.” What it does not say is that this process could put in check local institutes and courts that are trying to adapt. Chaos in sight?
5. Smokescreen. Lorena Cuellargovernor of Tlaxcala, revealed a robbery in a government agency committed by an employee, but omitted his identity. According to the president, the worker used a key to enter and changed vehicles several times to mislead him, like a movie thief. The reason? A family “health situation,” he said Cuellarwho seems more interested in justifying than punishing. Nothing is known about the employee or what was stolen. Ernestina Carrostate prosecutor, remains silent. In Tlaxcala, transparency is a luxury that no one can afford.
