ENGLISH

On June 1st thirteen million Mexicans elected their judicial leaders including Hugo Aguilar, a native Mexican belonging to the Mixtec culture from the southern state of Oaxaca. He will be leading Mexico’s Supreme Court. It is the first time since 1857 that a native Mexican holds this position when Benito Juarez, also from Oaxaca and belonging to the Zapotec culture, was also leader of the Mexican Supreme Court. This election is the first one in the World where judges are elected by popular vote!

ESPAÑOL

El primero de junio del año en curso 13 millones de mexicanos salieron a votar para elegir a los miembros del poder judicial de su país entre los cuales destacó la elección de Hugo Aguilar, oaxaqueño de origen mixteco, quien presidirá la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación. Es la primera vez desde tiempos de Benito Juárez (1857) que un mexicano de origen indígena volverá a ocupar este puesto. Estas elecciones son las primeras en el mundo donde los jueces son elegidos por voto popular.
