In recent statements, Javier Corral, a senator from Morena and president of the Justice Commission, articulated the pressing need to revisit and amend the Judicial Reform ahead of the second round of popular elections in 2027, which will determine the final 50% of judicial positions. His remarks underscore a critical moment for the reform as it faces scrutiny from the realities on the ground that challenge official narratives. Corral's emphasis on reviewing the reform indicates a growing concern regarding its effectiveness and the appropriateness of the appointments made under the current structure.

Corral pointed out serious issues, highlighting what he described as 'brutal ignorance' in several states where governors have appointed judges without a transparent or merit-based process. This lack of oversight and accountability is perceived as detrimental not only to the integrity of the judicial system but also to the broader implications it has on governance and public trust. He signaled that the consequences of such appointments are likely resulting in significant repercussions that society is now beginning to experience.

While Corral's statements are primarily qualitative, without accompanying quantitative data, there is evidence to support his claims, including reports from higher offices about the implications of the judicial appointments that have been made. The discourse surrounding judiciary appointments has intensified, illustrating the chasm between official narratives and the lived realities of governance and justice in Mexico. As the 2027 elections approach, these discussions could significantly influence voter sentiment and the political landscape related to judicial integrity and reform.
