President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's proposal to redesign the judiciary is viewed by critics as a power grab threatening judicial independence and democracy in Mexico.
The changes would replace an appointment-based judicial system with one where judges are elected by voters, raising concerns about qualifications and the potential removal of over 5,000 judges.
Protests have erupted across the country from judges and court workers, highlighting fears over the impact of the proposed judiciary reforms on judicial impartiality and the rule of law.
U.S. Ambassador expressed that Obrador's last-minute push for judicial reform poses significant risks to Mexico’s democracy, prompting a diplomatic disagreement with American officials.
