Mexico confirms Ernestina Godoy, 70, as new attorney general amid gender diversity push.
Mexico’s Senate has confirmed Ernestina Godoy, 70, as the country’s new attorney general, succeeding Alejandro Gertz Manero, who resigned to become an ambassador—though the destination remains undisclosed.
Godoy, a longtime legal adviser to President Claudia Sheinbaum and former Mexico City prosecutor, had served as interim attorney general.
Her appointment, backed by Sheinbaum’s Morena party with 97 votes in favor, reflects the administration’s push for gender diversity, as Sheinbaum’s final candidate list included only women.
Godoy pledged to combat impunity without political prosecutions.
Gertz Manero, who served since 2019 and was meant to be independent, faced longstanding criticism over ties to former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Critics questioned the transparency of the selection process.
