Political trajectory
She was a member of the Unified Socialist Party of Mexico, the Revolutionary Democratic Party, and social organizations such as the Union of Neighbors of the Doctors Colony, the National Union of Youth, and the University Student Council. She actively participated in the peaceful civil resistance movement led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2006-2018), coordinating brigades against the oil reform promoted by Felipe Calderón in 2008,[4] contributing to the formation of MORENA in Tultitlán, State of Mexico (2010-2011), and Nuevo León (2012-2013), and serving on its first National Council and first Executive Committee for the City of Mexico (2013-2016).[5]
Notes
- In December 2023, she was appointed directly by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, after the Senate twice failed to approve the nominees submitted by López Obrador by a two-thirds majority. Following the 2024 judicial reforms, she stood in the 2025 judicial election and was returned to the Supreme Court.
