Mexico's Senate weighed on Wednesday whether to abolish the current judicial system and allow citizens to choose nearly all of the country's judges. But before the vote could be finalized, hundreds of protesters stormed the government building, forcing the body to take a temporary recess. Senators later approved the measure by a single vote.
The Senate vote was the last major hurdle for the sweeping constitutional reform, and it came just after Mexico's ruling party, Morena, wrangled the votes it needed to approve the proposal after one member of an opposition party flipped to support it.
