The Judiciary develops intelligent resistance against the attacks and bluster of Morena’s powerful legislative group, which violates all rules and resources.
Now, he has included an elegant and intelligent piece to the debate: the Macuspana native’s contramañanera must be suing the Court for plagiarism.
Currently, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) is in the process of deciding who should resolve the challenges presented against the suspensions of the judicial reform. In addition, some judges have presented protections to stop the implementation of the reform, but the government has reaffirmed its commitment to it.
The federal Executive and the Morenoist legislators have learned the hard way about constitutional control and the powers of the SCJN. The recent judicial reform in Mexico has been one of the most debated topics in the country’s political and social sphere. Promoted by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador and supported by current president Claudia Sheinbaum, this reform seeks to profoundly transform the Mexican judicial system. However, is it really progress towards more equitable justice or a setback in democratic terms?
On the one hand, the reform proposes the election of judges by popular vote, a measure that, in theory, could increase transparency and accountability in the judicial system. The idea that citizens have a say in the selection of those who administer justice is, without a doubt, attractive. In addition, the reduction in the number of ministers in the SCJN and the creation of new institutions to improve the efficiency of the system are changes that could modernize and streamline judicial processes.
However, these measures have also raised concerns. The election of judges by popular vote could further politicize the judicial system, putting its independence at risk. Judges, instead of basing their decisions on law and justice, could be tempted to make popular decisions to ensure their re-election. Furthermore, reducing the number of ministers in the SCJN could concentrate too much power in a few hands, which could lead to less balanced decisions and more influenced by particular interests.
Dear reader, only time will tell if this reform will be remembered as a step towards more equitable justice or as a setback in the fight for democracy in Mexico.
Until next time.
