The first stage of filters to choose candidates for judges, magistrates and ministers, which concluded last Sunday, showed that the evaluation committees of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial measured the candidates with different rules, although the requirements were the same.

The above caused the Legislative evaluation committee to reject five candidates from its list last Sunday who were accepted in the other two: Paula María García Villegas Sánchez Cordero, magistrate and daughter of the former Minister of the Court, Olga Sánchez Cordero , and Marisela Morales Ibáñez, former attorney with Felipe Calderón.

Also to the current advisor of the federal Judiciary, Sergio Javier Molina Martínez; the former advisor of the Judiciary, Rosa Elena González Tirado, and Édgar Corzo Sosa, former advisor to the retired minister Genaro Góngora Pimentel.

However, the same candidates initially rejected were added by the same Legislative committee in a new list of eligible applicants that was broadcast last night.

In the first filter, the three committees reviewed that the applicants met constitutional and legal eligibility requirements, from being a Mexican citizen by birth, having a professional degree and minimum qualifications, enjoying a good reputation, to presenting letters of recommendation from their neighbors. , colleagues or people who support their suitability to perform the position.

On the other hand, there were 13 more candidates who registered in the three committees and were endorsed by them. These are Ana María Ibarra Olguín, Ángel Mario García Guerra, Carlos Pérez Vázquez, César Enrique Olmedo Piña and Guillermo Pablo López Andrade.

Likewise, Jaime Salvador García González, Jazmín Bonilla García, Jorge Jiménez Jiménez, Magda Zulema Mosri Gutiérrez, Olivia Aguirre Bonilla, Oswaldo Salvador Sosa Serrano, Ricardo Garduño Pasten and Ricardo Alfredo Sodi Cuéllar were endorsed.

In total, the Legislative evaluation committee published a list of 367 people who meet the eligibility requirements, the Executive list registers 228 and that of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (PJF) 25, which adds up to 620 of the three lists. .

PJF elected officials corrected

The PJF evaluation committee made a last-minute correction to its list of eligible Circuit magistrates for a technical error.

In it Official Gazette of the Federation it was explained that they included in the list to an ineligible applicant and failed to integrate an eligible one.

That is to say, in last Sunday’s list they included Luis Augusto Isunza Pérez, nominated for the collegiate court in administrative matters of the first circuit, but yesterday his application was officially eliminated and in his place they added Josué Isaías Ariza Estrada, candidate for the collegiate court in civil matters of the first circuit.

It should be noted that Isunza Pérez did qualify for the second stage of selection in the Executive and Judicial committees.
