MEXICO CITY.- Eight of the 11 ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) presented their resignations to the reform of the Judiciary of the 4T and declined to participate in the election of judges of 2025.

The minister Norma Piña and seven more ministers will leave their position in the Court in August 2025, without participating in the elections, to leave their seats free for the new ministers elected by popular vote.

Only the so-called “laborist” ministers due to their closeness to the former president, Yasmin Esquivel, Lenia Batres y Loretta Ortizhave not submitted their resignation and chose to participate in the elections on June 1.

They reject popular election of judges

Yesterday, Wednesday, Minister Norma Piña resigned from the Presidency of the Court and announced that she would not participate in the election of the Judiciary “for consistency.”

Along with her, seven ministers also refused to participate in the election of judges, magistrates and ministers by popular vote.

The resignations were presented because the Upper House set a deadline of October 30 to make public their intention to run for office in the elections or decline and resign.

“Eight members of this High Court presented their resignation before the Senate of the Republic, effective for seven ministers as of August 31, 2025,” the SCJN reported.

“At the same time they inform their decision to decline in the process for the election of ministers scheduled for June 2025,” the statement says.
