Supreme Court President Hugo Aguilar Ortiz Makes Historic Oaxaca Visit, Assists Robbery Victim
Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, president of Mexico's Supreme Court (SCJN), made a historic visit to the municipal palace of Oaxaca de Juárez, the first time a high‑court authority has done so. He was received by municipal president Ray Chagoya and met with Cabildo members in the Salon Expresidentes, emphasizing dialogue, pluralism and bringing justice closer to communities.
While speaking at a public event in the community of Camelia Roja, Tuxtepec, a woman identified as Sonia Rodríguez de la Rosa reported that her wallet containing 5,500 pesos and personal items had been stolen. Ortiz handed her 1,000 pesos from his wallet, saying “I help with another thousand.” The incident occurred as he discussed community‑focused justice; no investigation has been reported.
The visit also coincided with Ortiz’s participation in the first public hearing on the Papaloapan River rescue efforts and the 30th anniversary of the Tuxtepec Bar College. A Second Collegiate Court confirmed a July 16 amparo requiring federal, state and municipal authorities to clean the river, following a case brought by Litigio Estratégico Indígena.
