In a dramatic late night session, Mexico's Senate voted on a controversial judicial reform bill that completely remakes the judiciary, amid protests that interrupted the debate.
Senator Marko Cortes appealed to his colleague to reject the amendment, warning that it would end judicial independence. He asserted, "They will call you a traitor... The stakes are so high."
As protests escalated outside the Senate, judiciary workers who had been on strike rushed in, overpowering security, leading to chaos as senators panicked, fearing for their safety.
With the Senate president declaring a recess amid the protests, demonstrators chanted 'Traitors, traitors,' highlighting the deep divisions over the amendment that influenced the recent general elections.
