The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, during her morning conference on Tuesday, October 22, addressed Harvard University, questioning the perception of the Mexican judicial system. She commented that despite Harvard's prestigious reputation, it would be beneficial for the institution to focus on investigating corruption in the Mexican Judiciary and how judicial decisions are made compared to the United States.
Sheinbaum expressed her disagreement with the idea that there is no rule of law in Mexico, highlighting the importance of the people's participation in the election of judges and ministers through a selection process. She emphasized that the reform of the Judiciary in Mexico will be an example for the world, underscoring the responsibility of the election of judges and the fight against nepotism in the judicial system.
The Mexican leader mentioned the challenges of the judicial system in the United States, where in some states judges are elected based on political affiliation. Sheinbaum defended the decision made in Mexico and challenged Harvard to investigate issues such as nepotism, tax evasion, and controversial judicial decisions in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
In her speech, Sheinbaum reiterated her commitment to justice and transparency in the Mexican Judiciary, emphasizing that the election of judges will be responsible and that the country is on the path toward a fairer and more equitable judicial system.
