Mexico's Senate passes judicial reform after protesters break into chamber

The new measures will see Mexico become the world's first country to allow voters to elect judges at all levels, including the Supreme Court.

Critics argue that the judicial overhaul could compromise the independence of the judiciary, suggesting that elected judges may succumb to pressures from criminal organizations.

Protesters stormed the Senate chamber during the debate, chanting 'The judiciary will not fall', expressing their opposition to the reform and concerns over judicial integrity.

Lopez Obrador contended that the reforms would shift the judiciary away from serving powerful interests, claiming they are necessary to combat white-collar crime.
