Judges and magistrates in Mexico have joined forces with other federal court employees in a strike meant to paralyze a judicial overhaul proposed by the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
This is one of the exceptions.
This reform will make judges be able to be voted by the people, and all the world knows the implications of that in Mexico’s elections.
It also removes a lot of the requirements to the candidates.
Currently there are cases of people trying to get judicial protection against laws the executive is pushing which the legislature blindly approved since they were put in there by the ruling party. Now imagine if that ruling party was also deep into the judicial system, the people wouldn’t have anyone to turn to ask for help.
And that’s what investors are concerned about, investing in Mexico and losing everything because there’s no one to stop what the president says.
