Batres' appointment as minister was made directly by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on December 14. This appointment occurred after neither of the two three candidates presented by the president reached the necessary votes in the Senate of the Republic, which led to the direct election by the president.
Tomorrow, Thursday, January 4, the plenary of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) will meet in a solemn session to welcome the new minister, Lenia Batres. Her incorporation marks the beginning of a term that will run from 2024 to 2039.
