Sheinbaum envía al Senado reforma que aplaza elección de jueces al 2028

La presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum envió este miércoles una iniciativa de reforma constitucional al Senado para trasladar las elecciones judiciales de 2027 a 2028. La propuesta busca depurar la selección de candidatos tras las críticas a los comicios de 2025.

La secretaria de Gobernación, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, y la consejera jurídica Luisa María Alcalde entregaron el proyecto en el Senado. La iniciativa incluye crear una comisión coordinadora de los tres poderes para verificar requisitos de aspirantes.

Además, se propone reducir a cuatro las personas por cargo y realizar un sorteo para dejar dos candidatos finales. De aprobarse, las votaciones se realizarían el 4 de junio de 2028 y podrían coincidir con el referendo revocatorio de mandato.

La Asociación Nacional de Magistrados de Circuito y Jueces de Distrito calificó la medida como una confesión sobre la inviabilidad del diseño original. El gremio consideró insuficientes los cambios para evitar repeticiones de problemas como la cercanía de electos con el oficialismo.
