The representatives of the institutions most criticized in recent weeks by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador met this Thursday. The United States Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, and the Minister President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), Norma Pina, held a courtesy meeting derived from the appointment of the Mexican official last January. The meeting takes place at a time when the United States and Mexico have reached a new crisis due to violence in Mexico, after the kidnapping and murder of American citizens in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and the trafficking of fentanyl into US territory. and, on the other hand, when the questions of the federal president towards the Judiciary in Mexico have intensified.

Although Ambassador Salazar’s visit occurs almost three months after Pina’s election as minister president, just at the beginning of March, Lopez Obrador reproached the highest head of the Judiciary for neglecting the “vigilance” of Mexican judges after they gave two resolutions that did not fall in favor with the president: the unblocking of the accounts of the wife of the former Secretary of Public Security of Felipe Calderon Genaro Garcia Luna, found guilty in the United States of various crimes including drug trafficking, and the cancellation of an order of arrest against the former governor of Tamaulipas, Francisco Cabeza de Vaca.

The meeting between the two characters also stands out because in the case of President Lopez Obrador and the Minister President, there has been no formal meeting since Pina was elected head of the Court. Instead, Lopez Obrador had a close relationship with the former president of the country’s highest judicial body, Minister Arturo Zaldivar, who met with the president on several occasions.
