Mexico's Constitutional Reforms: a Setback for Checks and Balances

Stephanie Brewer, Director for Mexico at WOLA, and Lisa Sanchez, Director of México Unido Contra la Delincuencia, dissect recent constitutional reforms in Mexico. They highlight how these changes threaten judicial independence, with citizens now electing judges, potentially eroding accountability. The discussion reveals a troubling shift towards military control over public security, raising alarms about human rights abuses and democracy. The consequences of these reforms could seriously undermine transparency and the fight against corruption in the country.
