The period of Minister Arturo Zaldívar at the head of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) concludes with more pain than glory.

The Tiktoker lawyer could not or did not want to be the counterweight to AMLO’s projects, as was his constitutional obligation.

Coincidentally, the only battle that the SCJN won was the defense of the salaries and benefits of the Federal Judiciary, in this sector the law of maximum salaries does not apply, whose campaign slogan was “nobody earns more than the president.” A minister of the SCJN receives a salary of 390,000 net pesos.

On December 31, the Arturo Zaldívar presidency ends, during his administration some complex issues were resolved, such as: I) the revocation of the mandate, II) the consultation to prosecute the former presidents, III) the mega works of the federal government, IV) the constitutionality of the militarization of the national guard and V) the informal preventive detention.

In each and every one of the issues, a SCJN tamed by the Executive was perceived, it is also necessary to point out that the plurality of the Court was presented through some critical votes towards the 4T projects, although in the end it gave continuity to the projects of the Executive.

In his last press conference as minister president, he announced that there are seven members of the SCJN who want to preside over the organization. I) Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, II) Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, III) Yasmín Esquivel Mossa, IV) Margarita Ríos Farjat, V) Javier Laynez Potisek, VI) Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena and VII) Alberto Pérez Dayán.

In other circumstances, the SCJN preferred to elect its president from among the members with the longest tenure.

For now there are two clear favorites in the race: first, Yasmín Esquivel Mossa, close to AMLO who maintains a strong presence in the court, and Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, who, in addition to good legal judgment, is the only career minister in power. judicial.

The election of the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation is declared closed, we are facing the possibility that for the first time in the history of our country a woman will preside over it.

Dear reader, in addition to the administrative and political incentives, the new president of the SCJN will have to battle with the overtones of unconstitutionality of the electoral reform. Uff what a package awaits the next president of the SCJN, until next time.
