The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation acquired nine armored Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles for about two million pesos each, but returned them after President Claudia Sheinbaum's intervention. This incident highlights the contradiction between the Fourth Transformation's austerity rhetoric and privileged practices in the Judiciary. The purchase took place amid economic inequality and widespread poverty in Mexico.
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) announced that its ministers will not use the nine recently purchased luxury armored vehicles, opting to reassign or return them in the name of austerity. Minister President Hugo Aguilar explained that the purchase was due to deficiencies in the inherited vehicle fleet, but after criticism, public savings were prioritized. President Claudia Sheinbaum applauded the decision for saving one billion pesos.
