Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized a decision by a Supreme Court panel to block a justice from hearing a case related to high-profile tax claims against billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego.

Sheinbaum said all Mexicans must pay their taxes, after the panel of justices said Wednesday that Justice Lenia Batres should be recused. The case centers on an injunction Salinas won that blocked financial authorities from probing his bank and brokerage accounts.
