Mexico's Catholic leaders have raised doubts about the judicial reform proposed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, questioning its ability to bring justice to victims of the country's rampant crime wave. Archbishop Gustavo Rodríguez stated that the reform does not ensure a comprehensive overhaul of the judicial system or guarantee improved justice administration.
López Obrador's push for the reform, citing corruption among current judges, aims to subject the entire judiciary, comprising around 7,000 judges, to elections. However, this proposal has sparked protests, criticism from analysts, judges, and international observers who fear it could compromise judicial independence and the system of checks and balances.
