Mexico’s President's Final Endeavor: A Radical Overhaul of the Judiciary


As Mexico's President approaches the end of his term, he is proposing significant changes to the judiciary system to combat corruption. However, this move has sparked criticism, with opponents accusing it of being a power grab and a threat to judicial independence. The proposed changes would move from an appointment-based to an election-based system for judges, potentially displacing thousands of judges. Critics fear this could undermine democracy and the rule of law. The proposal has sparked protests and a diplomatic spat with the U.S. over concerns about its impact on Mexico's democracy and economy. Despite the pushback, the President's allies are determined to push through the measures, aiming to secure votes in the upcoming elections. While some argue the changes are necessary for collaboration between branches, others fear it could compromise judicial impartiality and economic stability. The contentious debate reflects growing unease over the President's attempts to consolidate power and reshape institutions in his favor.
