Aguilar stressed that “without the judicial reform”-impulsed by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024) and headed by President Claudia Sheinbaum-“indigenous peoples would not have the presence that we are having in the public life of the country today.”
“Just a year ago it was unimaginable that its server, as indigenous and as people of the people, despite the studies, despite the work, despite the media, they were today talking to them in the position of Minister of the SCJN.
