Judicial Elections a Setback for Justice in Mexico, Judges Say

Date:

The balance of power was eliminated following a reform of the judicial branch and the first elections held on June 1.

The judicial elections recently held in Mexico constitute a setback in the administration of justice in Mexico, according to several judges and magistrates.

“In all democracies, in all modern states, there is always a balance of power. There is always a system of checks and balances, and when the government, the executive branch, issues an authoritarian act, the judiciary must stop it,” Guanajuato District Judge Ulises Fuentes Rodriguez told The Epoch Times.
