While the SCJN, of Norma Piñastill gives rise to challenges from political parties, Sheinbaum He makes it clear: “It is a decision of the people” and there will be no going back. The transitional article repeals contradictory provisions, such as the method of electing the president of the Court and the duration of his mandate. Ernestina GodoyLegal Advisor to the Presidency, and Arturo Zaldivargeneral coordinator of Politics and Government, ratify: the subsequent law annuls the previous one. There is no more.

In the midst of conferences and awards, Fuentes warns that the speed with which this reform is implemented will require quick and successful decisions for the “good of the people.” What it does not say is that this process could put in check local institutes and courts that are trying to adapt. Chaos in sight?
5. Smokescreen. Lorena Cuellargovernor of Tlaxcala, revealed a robbery in a government agency committed by an employee, but omitted his identity. According to the president, the worker used a key to enter and changed vehicles several times to mislead him, like a movie thief. The reason?

Ernestina Carrostate prosecutor, remains silent. In Tlaxcala, transparency is a luxury that no one can afford.
