Eight Supreme Court judges in Mexico have resigned amidst controversial judicial reforms, setting the stage for voters to choose all judges, raising concerns about political influence.
The plan to elect judges aims to cleanse a judiciary tainted by elite interests, a view emphasized by former president Lopez Obrador, who enacted the reforms.
Critics have raised alarm over the potential consequences of electing judges, fearing increased susceptibility to political pressure and threats from powerful drug cartels.
President Sheinbaum’s support for judicial reforms has drawn ire from Mexico's financial allies, indicating significant geopolitical repercussions alongside domestic unrest.
