The selection of those who administer justice is a crucial issue that affects confidence in national and foreign investment. The uncertainty generated by this process is evident both inside and outside the country, which can further complicate the current situation. In a report carried out last year, it was concluded that judicial reform in Mexico poses a threat to judicial independence, violating international standards and weakening democracy.
In response to the need to reform the Judiciary, the general election of judges is proposed; however, this does not fully resolve the issue of access to justice. Limiting or canceling this election is considered as an option to generate confidence in investment and strengthen capabilities in the face of challenges such as the administration of Donald Trump. However, the president questions the relevance of this measure concerning current challenges.
The situation becomes more complex with the external threat posed by the tariff policy proposed by Trump, which requires a united front. The need to attract investment and work on a state policy becomes pressing, and the uncertainty generated by the election of those who administer justice can hinder these objectives. The urgency to build trust in investment clashes with the political and legal uncertainty surrounding this election.
The Stanford Law School's Impact Laboratory on the Rule of Law has expressed concern about decisions that could violate judicial independence and the separation of powers. In this context, it is crucial to make decisions that strengthen confidence and stability both nationally and internationally. The complex situation requires a thorough and careful analysis to ensure that the decisions made benefit society as a whole.
