Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced a temporary halt in diplomatic relations with the US and Canadian embassies following criticism of his proposal to have judges elected by popular vote. The move was revealed during López Obrador's daily press conference, where he emphasized that the pause is directed at the embassies and not the countries themselves.
The proposed judicial reform is part of a broader package of constitutional changes that López Obrador has been advocating for, with the aim of strengthening Mexico's institutions. The reform, which includes controversial elements such as the election of judges by popular vote, has sparked concerns both domestically and internationally.
