Ministers will earn more than President Sheinbaum in 2025, accuses Lenia Batres

With this information, the minister reported in X that the ministers will earn 2.6 million pesos more than Sheinbaum in 2025.

According to Batres, each minister of the SCJN will receive 1.5 million pesos for net annual salary, but to this must be added 397,110 pesos for net annual benefits and 3.3 million pesos for additional net annual benefits, for a total income of minister of 5.3 million pesos.

The figure is almost double what, according to the minister, Sheinbaum will receive in net annual amount in 2025: 2.7 million pesos, composed of a net annual salary of 1.5 million pesos and net benefits of 389,947 pesos, plus additional benefits net for 737,872 pesos.

The Federal Law on Remuneration of Public Servants establishes that every public servant must limit their income to that established for the head of the Executive Branch, and yesterday the SCJN reported in a press release that in its approved budget for 2025 “they adjusted to the reduction of the salaries of ministers, as well as of commanding public servants, to comply with the provisions of the Seventh Transitory Article of the aforementioned Decree” on reform of the Judiciary.

In that section it was established that until the election of judicial positions took place in June 2025 and the people who will make up the SCJN did not take office, the payments should be limited to the presidential ceiling.

On her social networks, Minister Batres questioned that there was no such reduction and the salaries of ministers were not adapted to President Sheinbaum’s income.

On Thursday, when the SCJN budget was approved, Minister Lenia Batres voted against it, because the amount of payments that violates the law is maintained and accused that not only is there no austerity but that various items increased “in an excessive and unjustified manner, like that of works.”
