Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) is on the verge of enacting a sweeping judicial reform in Mexico, which would allow the election of judges, effectively consolidating power for his party, Morena, and potentially undermining judicial independence. The Supreme Court justices have responded by joining labor strikes, protesting against the proposed changes, which they argue threaten the integrity of the young democracy. Federal judges in Morelos and Chiapas have issued suspensions to halt discussions on the reform, citing concerns over potential abuses in dismissing judges without proper processes. Despite these legal challenges, Morena intends to push forward with the reform and may pursue legal actions against the judges. AMLO claims the reform aims to ensure that the judicial system serves the people and curbs the influence of organized crime. The situation reflects a growing tension between the executive and judiciary branches in Mexico, with critics warning of a drift towards authoritarianism reminiscent of the PRI era.
