Mexico's new subcommittee to fast-track 57 stalled political trials
Mexico’s Judicial Commission has approved the creation of a subcommittee to review political trial requests. The move comes after Deputy Germán Martínez Cazares of the National Action Party (PAN) formally proposed its establishment. Among the pending cases is a recent filing against Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. The request to form the Preliminary Review Subcommittee was submitted to the Justice and Governance Committees. Its purpose is to process and resolve 57 pending political trial petitions logged by the Chamber of Deputies’ General Secretariat. These cases include the May 11, 2026, request by the PAN targeting Governor Rocha Moya.
Ricardo Monreal, president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), confirmed the backlog of trials. He announced plans to push the subcommittee, led by Erick Flores, to accelerate the review process. The group will assess each petition regardless of the accused’s political affiliation.
If a request meets legal standards, the subcommittee will forward it to the Judicial Commission for further action. The goal is to clear the existing queue of cases efficiently. The subcommittee’s formation marks a step toward addressing the pending political trial requests. With 57 cases awaiting review, its work will determine which petitions advance to the Judicial Commission. The process will apply uniformly to all parties involved.
