On a brisk November morning, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stood at the podium of her signature "People’s Morning Press Conference," beaming with satisfaction. “The people of Mexico triumphed,” she declared, her voice echoing through the grand hall. She was referring to the previous day's resolution by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), which dismissed challenges to her government’s judicial reform, marking a significant milestone in her administration’s sweeping efforts to reshape Mexico's judicial landscape.

“I am very happy,” Sheinbaum began, exuding a confidence bolstered by what she described as a triumph of reason over irrationality. “Yesterday, the people triumphed,” she emphasized, framing the court’s ruling as a pivotal moment in the ongoing national transformation. The resolution dismissed the actions of unconstitutionality aimed at halting the judicial reforms that have fueled fervent debate across the nation, impacting the structure and appointment processes within Mexico’s judiciary.
