Mexico Protesters Storm Senate, Lawmakers Flee To Nearby Building To Pass Judicial Overhaul
On September 11, Mexico’s Senate voted to replace the current judicial system with one allowing citizens to elect almost all judges, a historic first. The ruling Morena party secured the necessary two-thirds majority despite intense protests, with demonstrators breaking into the chamber and demanding the reform be withdrawn. The overhaul, passed with 86 votes in favor and 41 against, will reduce Supreme Court judges and lower requirements for judges. Critics argue it threatens judicial independence and could undermine democracy, while supporters claim it will reduce corruption.
