Controversy Surrounds Judicial Reforms in Mexico

The Mexican Congress is facing criticism for modifying the Constitution and laws inconsistently, raising concerns about the erosion of the rule of law. Recent judicial reforms have sparked legal challenges, including a suspension ordered by Judge Nancy Juárez. The President, Sheinbaum, has refused to comply with this order, prompting further legal disputes.


Controversy Surrounds Judicial Reforms in Mexico

Congress continues to implement reforms that affect the Constitution and laws in a confusing and inconsistent manner. These modifications do not follow an appropriate legislative process and often generate an unreadable and unenforceable legal framework. Despite ignoring legal resources and suspensions, the reforms are approved without considering their impact on society.

The situation has led to questions about the current state of the rule of law in Mexico. There seems to be a double legal standard, where laws are interpreted according to specific conveniences. The lack of clear opposition and the fragility of political structures do not create an encouraging outlook.

Last week, Judge Nancy Juárez issued a definitive suspension against a judicial reform and ordered the President to withdraw the official publication. This decision, although questioned by some experts, highlights the struggle to maintain legality and transparency in an increasingly questionable legal context.

Despite the tensions between the legislative and judicial branches, it is crucial to seek ways for dialogue and a solution that strengthen the rule of law in Mexico. Respect for institutions and legality is key to maintaining stability and justice in the country.
