Despite the protests, the Senate of Mexico has approved a judicial overhaul.


Mexico’s Senate narrowly approved a significant proposal to overhaul the judiciary system, marking a major victory for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The measure would transition the judiciary to an electoral-based system, removing 7,000 judges from their positions. Despite strong opposition and protests, the bill is expected to be enacted into law, allowing voters to elect judges. While the government argues the overhaul is necessary to modernize the judiciary and combat corruption, critics fear it will politicize the judiciary and exacerbate existing issues. The proposal has caused division and sparked widespread protests across the country. The impact of the legislation remains uncertain, with supporters and opponents expressing conflicting views on its potential consequences.
