Crisis in Mexico's Judiciary and Democracy

22
0
In the current political context of Mexico, there is a constitutional crisis involving the Supreme Court and President Claudia Sheinbaum. This conflict raises the potential for the court to annul judicial reforms, representing a significant threat to the country's democracy. Major influences, especially from the judiciary and the media, including Televisa and TV Azteca, are at play as they undergo drastic changes in their economic and political influence. President Sheinbaum, upon taking office, faces pressure from both judicial powers and the media, who seek to delegitimize her government by exploiting its internal crises. It is crucial to analyze how these powers have acted more as barriers than fulfilling their institutional responsibilities, thereby eroding trust in the justice system. Additionally, the impact of American influence on legal training and the ideology that pervades both the judicial and media realms is discussed. The court's resistance might indicate a pursuit of power that challenges the will of the people and, if it persists, could lead to a dangerous deviation from democracy.
