In Culiacan, Mexico, a significant judicial reform is set to allow voters to elect judges at all levels, seen as a democratic first. While supporters argue this change will combat corruption and make the judiciary more accountable to the public, critics warn it might weaken the separation of powers and expose the election process to organized crime influence. Figures like Delia Quiroa, who lost her brother to cartel violence, view this opportunity as a mixed blessing, acknowledging potential benefits amidst the looming risks of election integrity.
The reform introduces a radical method of electing judges in Mexico, which could potentially address deep-seated corruption but comes with significant risks from organized crime.
Despite criticism, the judicial reform allows individuals like Delia Quiroa, affected by cartel violence, an opportunity to pursue justice through becoming a federal judge.
