The recent judicial elections in Mexico have generated significant controversy due to 13 candidates potentially connected to organized crime and various forms of violence and malpractice. The shift from an appointment-based system to one of direct citizens' votes resulted in a low turnout of just 13%. Notably, candidates like Hernan Vega Burgos, accused of serious crimes, are on the brink of judicial appointments. The electoral reform lacks broad political support, with the ruling Morena party largely backing the system, highlighting ongoing issues with judicial integrity in Mexico.
Hernan Vega Burgos won a magistrate position despite allegations of protecting a trafficking and sexual exploitation ring, revealing serious issues in Mexico's judicial election system.
The judicial election saw a low voter turnout of only 13% and raised major concerns, as 13 candidates are linked to organized crime and corruption.
