Mexico's Senate passed a constitutional amendment placing the National Guard under military control, raising concerns about the concentration of military power in civilian life.
Supporters of the amendment argue that military oversight will combat corruption in the National Guard, while critics contend it dangerously expands military influence over civilian governance.
President Lopez Obrador views the National Guard's militarization as a victory for governance, believing it ensures continued rectitude in public security enforcement.
Human rights advocates warn that constitutionalizing military control of public security solidifies a problematic precedent, impacting civil liberties and democratic accountability.
