00:00I see her right to vote in these judicial elections being held today, this Sunday, all across Mexico.
00:23A historic day for Mexico as it's the first time that its people would elect all the different judges at different levels to the different courts, something that has been made available thanks to the judicial reform that was approved in the year 2024, with the aim of removing the existing corruption judicial system as well as influence peddling that was hindering the judicial processes.
00:53This has been the plan of the ruling coalition of the government of President Caballecen bound to eradicate those scourges and bring a more fair judicial system to the Mexican people.
01:06These are the live images from Mexico as the president exercised her right to vote in this historic election day held in Mexico that, I repeat, the first time in the history of the Central American nation that the people are voting directly for their judges.
01:24Today, the Mexican people will be voting for nine ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice, also two magistrates of the Federal Electoral Tribunal, as well as 15 judges of the regional courts and five also of the Discipline Judicial Court as well.
01:45And in total, the Mexican people will also be voting for 464 circuit judges and 386 district judges. Those are all the positions, the judge positions that are being put on the table this Sunday as Mexicans continue to go to the votes polls that open early in the morning local time Mexico and will close at 6pm local time also in Mexico.
02:14Now, why is this process important because it is seeking to democratize the access to the judicial power, which was usually preserving the nation to the elites.
02:26In this way, in this way, the different offices are being voted and have a straight influence, a direct line of influence on human rights and resolution of electoral conflicts, as well as to control the illegalities committed by authorities in different sectors.
02:46As we're saying, the polls open early at 8pm local time are expected to close at 6pm local time with the results being published and one after the other in the coming 10 days.
03:00The results will be not known all at the same time. And by this, I refer to the different judges that are being elected. The first they will give the results for the Supreme Court, then to the Federal Tribunal, and so on, so on. The results will be coming from the different levels of the judicial power.
03:22So this is what's happening right now in Mexico. We were just seeing live how the Mexican president, Claudio Sheinbaum, exercised her right to vote in these historic judicial elections held across the Mexican nation.
03:42We want to stay tuned to have all the updates coming from this paramount moment in Mexican history, in the judicial history of the country. So stay tuned with Telesur English to have all the updates coming from the Central.
