Debate on the Impartiality of the Judicial System in Mexico

The argument that electing judges will help combat impunity is fallacious, according to recent claims. Meanwhile, the current government often blames the judges, dismissing their work and using their existence as a justification for various situations. For Claudia Sheinbaum's government, any eventuality seems to fall on the responsibility of the judges, as demonstrated in the case of the delivery of 29 people to the United States.

In a scenario where judges are pointed out as allies of criminals, questions arise about who the true good guys in the story are. The recent delivery of individuals to the United States was justified by claiming that the judges posed a risk, leading to a series of debates and speculations regarding the appropriateness of this decision.

A hypothetical scenario is also posed where, under the current government, cases like Ayotzinapa or Ruiz Massieu could have had different outcomes. The impartiality and due process in the prosecutions are questioned, emphasizing the importance of an effective and transparent justice system.

Amidst these debates, the need to address the deficiencies in the Mexican justice system is highlighted, including both judges and prosecutors. A series of inconsistencies and challenges in the exercise of justice is evident, raising the urgency of implementing measures to ensure a fair process for all involved.

In this sense, it is essential to thoroughly analyze the role of the different actors in the justice system, as well as to work together to strengthen institutions and ensure respect for the fundamental rights of the population. The debate on the administration of justice in Mexico remains a relevant topic that requires a comprehensive and committed approach from both authorities and society as a whole.
