Mexican federal judges and court workers initiated an indefinite nationwide strike on Monday, protesting President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's proposed judicial reforms. The reforms, which include electing judges by popular vote, have sparked widespread opposition due to concerns about undermining judicial independence and concentrating power in the executive branch. Critics argue that the plan could lead to underqualified individuals becoming judges and erode checks and balances on López Obrador's administration. Despite modifications to the proposal, which include staggered elections, the core objective remains controversial. López Obrador defends the reforms as necessary to eliminate corruption, while opponents see it as a power grab. The strike underscores the significant tensions and potential impact on Mexico's legal system and broader political landscape.
