Mexico’s Lower House of Congress Approves President’s Judicial Overhaul
New York TimesAUG 31 2024
As Obrador enters his final month in office, his goal is clearly to consolidate his Morena party's power and install a totalitarian regime in Mexico. Instead of promoting independence and democracy, this judicial reform will do the opposite by lowering professional standards and creating further vulnerabilities.
It's urgent that Mexico reforms its judicial system, as most Mexicans have expressed their desire to vote for judges rather than being subject to the dictates of the judiciary elite—one that is largely owned by US corporations. These changes are part of a broader push to bring more equality and social justice to Mexico.
