Mexico's Supreme Court Budget for 2026: A Matter of Careful Consideration

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) in Mexico is set to welcome its new president-elect, Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, as announced recently. However, the budget for the SCJN in the upcoming year, 2026, remains a topic of interest and uncertainty.

Ricardo Monreal Ávila, the coordinator of the Morena parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies, has expressed reservations about authorizing an "overweight" budget for the SCJN. Monreal, who is also the president of the Political Coordination Board, has rejected the possibility of increasing the SCJN's budget by 12%, a figure that has been circulating in the communication media, though its authenticity has not been confirmed.

Monreal believes that such an increase would be inadmissible, especially considering the expected inflation between 4-5%. He expresses confidence that Aguilar Ortiz will be a good minister and president, and trusts that he will defend the autonomy of the Judicial Power. Monreal also believes that the new composition of the SCJN will help regain citizens' confidence in the country's justice system and eliminate impunity in the judicial regime.

As of August 2025, there is no specific publicly available information detailing the 2026 budget status for Mexico's Supreme Court in the Chamber of Deputies. The search results primarily relate to broader national budget matters for the United States fiscal year 2026 and do not mention the Mexican Supreme Court budget or its legislative process in Mexico.

To track the current status of Mexico's Supreme Court budget for 2026, the best sources would likely be the Mexican Chamber of Deputies' official releases or the Ministry of Finance of Mexico. These should provide specific appropriations figures and legislative debates concerning the Supreme Court budget.

Monreal ensures there is full respect between the Legislative and Judicial Powers, but the SCJN's proposed budget is a matter that requires careful consideration. He recognizes Aguilar Ortiz as the elected president of the SCJN and believes that he will work towards recovering the deficit of justice in the Judicial Power, as expressed by Monreal himself.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the SCJN's budget for 2026, Monreal remains optimistic about the future of Mexico's justice system under the leadership of Aguilar Ortiz.
