Mexico's Morena Proposes Election of Supreme Court Justices in June 2025
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's ruling Morena party aims to elect all Supreme Court justices through a popular vote in June 2025, the party's leader in the lower house of Congress said on Friday, as part of a controversial judicial reform to be discussed next month.
Additionally, half of all magistrates as well as open judicial positions in Mexico's court system will be elected, Morena lawmaker Ignacio Mier said.
The rest will be elected through a vote in 2027.
President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, who takes office in October, also of Morena, has defended outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's judicial proposal, saying she agrees judges should be elected.
