Mexico's Senate Approves Judicial Reform with 86 Votes Amid Protests
Sep 10, 2024, 09:20 PM
Mexico's Senate has approved the general text of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's judicial reform, which proposes electing judges by popular vote instead of appointment. The reform has been highly controversial, facing strong opposition from various political factions, business elites, and international critics who argue it threatens judicial independence and could harm Mexico's business climate. The ruling coalition secured the necessary votes, including a pivotal vote from opposition Senator Miguel Ángel Yunes, to pass the reform with 86 votes in favor and 41 against. Protests erupted, with demonstrators storming the Senate building, forcing a temporary recess. The reform now moves to the full Senate for final approval.
