Mexico's Economic Nationalism Gains Momentum as State Control Expands
Mexico's Legislative Branch has been busy enacting sweeping reforms. Key changes include: direct election of judges, increased social welfare, stronger state control over key industries, and controversial measures to limit judicial review.
In a move that could alter the course of the nation’s political and judicial landscape, Mexico’s legislative branch has accelerated a sweeping reform process, aiming to reshape its judicial institutions. This marks a significant step toward the long-term transformation of the Mexican state, furthering the objectives set in motion in September at the onset of the LXVI Legislature’s first ordinary session.
The latest legislative actions, focused on judicial reforms, have garnered widespread attention, particularly those that touch on the election of judges, ministers, and magistrates. These reforms signal a pivotal shift in the dynamics of the country’s judicial appointment process, granting greater democratic participation and influence to the electorate. As these reforms are introduced, they provide a new roadmap for the election and challenge of judicial decisions, aiming to ensure more transparency and fairness in Mexico’s legal framework.
