The proposed judicial reform to elect judges by popular vote aims to address Mexico's high levels of impunity, but critics warn it risks politicizing the judiciary.
Supporters argue that the current judicial system is not serving the people and instead caters to the interests of organized crime, pushing for democratization of judicial appointments.
Unions fear that the reforms would compromise labor rights and open the judiciary to manipulation by special interests, including possibly violent criminal groups.
The planned overhaul not only prompted protests inside Mexico but also raised concerns among US officials and foreign investors regarding the independence of the judiciary.
