The judicial reform's key feature is the election of judges by popular vote, which has stirred significant debate and concern regarding judicial independence and the rule of law.
Justices of Mexico's supreme court voted late on Tuesday, narrowly missing the necessary supermajority to roll back the controversial reform that mandates judges' elections by popular vote.
President Claudia Sheinbaum maintains that the court lacks the authority to review the reform, which is intended to reshape how judges and magistrates are appointed in Mexico.
Supreme Court president Norma Pina emphasized the historical significance of the court's decision, stating, 'It is not an exaggeration to say that whatever decision we reach, it will be taken up by the history books of our country.'
