“We reiterate our commitment to the responsible and efficient use of public resources, as well as to the constant work to guarantee authentic and true justice,” the Court stressed.
The controversy began last week, when images of the new vans assigned to the nine ministers were released. Given the controversy, the Court justified the purchase and stated that the purpose was to guarantee the safety and protection of the judges.
In addition, the Judiciary revealed that not only the nine vans were acquired, but a total of 571 new vehicles were acquired in the last quarter of 2025, with an investment of 252 million pesos. This expense was intended to cover the mobility needs of both the Court and the Judicial Administration Body and the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation.
The Judiciary explained that the purchase of vehicles was due to the fact that they previously leased 445 cars, which generated an annual operating cost of 366.2 million pesos, a figure that was considered unsustainable in the long term.
