The Supreme Court of Mexico (SCJN) has ruled that the Electoral Tribunal (TEPJF) lacks the authority to invalidate suspensions issued by federal judges against the judicial reform. In a session held on February 13, 2025, the SCJN voted 7 to 3 to classify TEPJF's resolutions as mere opinions, which do not carry the power to annul federal court orders. This ruling follows discussions regarding the TEPJF's request to disqualify four ministers from participating in the debate over the judicial reform, which was also rejected by the SCJN. The court's decision mandates that judges must review these suspensions within 24 hours. The TEPJF has responded by asserting that the electoral process remains unchanged and has not been suspended, maintaining its jurisdiction over the election of judges scheduled for June 2025. The ruling has implications for the upcoming judicial elections as it reinforces the authority of federal judges in the face of challenges from the TEPJF regarding the reform's legitimacy.
