After taking a 15 -day holiday period, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) resumes today work with the regressive account in progress: the last month of work begins for the current integration of the Plenary, which will conclude functions on August 31 so that on September 1 the new ministers chosen by the popular vote will take possession.
As part of the cycle closure, Minister President, Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, enlists a special session, outside the ordinary calendar, which will be held in the second half of August. In it, together with the presidents of the two Salas, Javier Laynez Potisek and Loretta Ortiz Ahlf, will present the work report that was traditionally given in December.
The Piña report will cover its management at the head of the Judicial Power of the Federation (PJF) of January 2, 2023 to date. Those of the first and second room will cover the period from December to August.
The Plenary of the SCJN only has two sessions before the recess: those of August 5 and 12. In the list of issues there are 17 earrings, of which the last two are the most transcendent: the constitutionality and application of the informal preventive detention and that of the roots in Mexico.
However, it seems difficult for ministers to address these issues, since in each session they usually discuss between one and three issues, and sometimes, a single issue can be extended by more than one session.
For August 5, the Plenary has the analysis of the first nonconformity trial related to the election of magistrates of the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF).
Meanwhile, the two rooms only have the session of August 13 and dozens of matters scheduled, including a project that proposes to protect the former president of the National Electoral Institute (INE), Lorenzo Córdova, against the distribution of textbooks that include an episode of 2015 in which he mocked indigenous representatives.
On the other hand, among the matters that will inherit the future administration are the Salinas Group protection that challenge tax credits that reach almost 35 billion pesos.
