Mexico's passing of a constitutional amendment to transform its judiciary reflects President Lopez Obrador's strong influence and aims to address issues like nepotism and corruption.
Now it's different, Mr. Lopez Obrador said in a video posted on social media, emphasizing the shift to a system where judges are elected by the people rather than solely appointed.
The law transitions the judiciary to a voter-elected process, significantly altering the qualifications for candidates, which raises concerns over the consequences of these changes.
Ms. Sheinbaum, who is set to take office on Oct. 1, fully supports this judiciary overhaul, which will first see many judges running for election in 2025.
