Celebrating the 108th Anniversary of the Mexican Constitution: Controversy Surrounds President Claudia Sheinbaum’s Guest List.
On February 5, 2025, Mexico commemorated the 108th anniversary of the promulgation of its Constitution. The event, held at the Teatro de la República in Querétaro, was led by President Claudia Sheinbaum. The celebration highlighted the Constitution’s significance as a cornerstone of democracy, justice, and equality in Mexico.
However, the event was marred by controversy when it emerged that President Sheinbaum did not invite Norma Piña, the President of the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice. This decision sparked criticism and speculation about potential political motivations behind the exclusion. Critics argue that the absence of the highest judicial authority at such a significant event undermines the principles of judicial independence and the separation of powers.
Despite the controversy, the anniversary celebration proceeded with various government officials, including governors and other dignitaries, in attendance. President Sheinbaum used the occasion to reaffirm her commitment to democracy and the rule of law, emphasizing the importance of the Constitution in guiding Mexico’s development.
The exclusion of Norma Piña remains a topic of debate, raising questions about the relationship between the executive and judicial branches of government in Mexico.
