Mexico is experiencing a moment of peaceful, yet renewed
confrontation between the ruling party, which, according to international
analysts, is marked by actions that have put national democracy in the
background, and the now opposition population, which seeks to defend citizens'
freedoms and rights.
Even against the will of the citizens, Mexican legislators,
the majority of the so-called 4T (T), the ruling party, dared to impose the
so-called Judicial Reform, which consists of a series of changes to the
Constitution and secondary laws that modify the way judges, magistrates, and
ministers are elected and function.
The protest by the ruling party legislators took place
despite mobilizations, strikes by judicial officials, legal challenges, and the
popular discontent that has been felt in the streets, meeting centers, and on
social media so far.
Among the key changes is the popular election of judges,
magistrates, and ministers, which, in a message addressed to the population
with the naiveté that comes with ignorance, has been sold as a way to end
corruption in the judiciary.
However, a large majority of Mexicans have not bought the
"speak" and, like many national and international analysts, assert
that it is yet another step toward uniting the three branches of government,
which are typically independent in democracies, into a single bubble.
Now, a couple of weeks before the government's imposition,
via the legislature, with the "election" of judges, magistrates, and
ministers, is finalized, the popular mood is one of rejection of going to the
polls. For its part, the ruling party is accelerating its pace and has already
begun to entice the innocent citizens of the Latin American country to cast
their votes, even if they don't know for whom, for what, or why./ANTISTENES
