Vidulfo Rosales, the lawyer who has represented the families of the 43 disappeared Ayotzinapa students since 2014, has resigned from his role and from the Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Montaña Tlachinollan. Rosales cited personal health reasons, lack of resources, and insufficient political support as factors in his decision to step down. His resignation coincides with his upcoming appointment as a collaborator to Hugo Aguilar, the president-elect of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), where he is set to take office on September 1, 2025. Abel Barrera, director of the Tlachinollan Center, confirmed the timing of Rosales's departure aligns with this new role. Despite Rosales's resignation, Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed that investigations into the disappearance of the 43 students will continue with ongoing communication with the families. The transition occurs amid broader discussions about judicial reform and political dynamics in Mexico, with Hugo Aguilar preparing to lead the SCJN and political figures debating the implications of recent electoral reforms.
