“On June 1, 2025, Mexicans were called to vote for judges, magistrates, and Supreme Court justices. It was the first major implementation of a sweeping judicial reform passed in the twilight of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration. The change was framed as a democratization of justice, but it was a masterclass in judicial capture. People should be alarmed. Mexico is undergoing a transformation that compromises the separation of powers, individual rights, and the very conditions that allow for sustained prosperity.” 907/01/25)
