Mexico's Sheinbaum sends secondary legislation on judicial reform implementation
8/10/2024 6:46
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent two proposals to Congress to reform electoral laws and implement a sweeping reform of the judiciary, her government said in a statement on Monday. Congress passed the constitutional reform, which stipulates that all judges be elected by popular vote over the next three years, in September. The ruling Morena party and its allies have championed the reform as an improvement on the current judicial system, arguing it is needed to root out corruption in the judiciary. "The judicial reform has already been approved, it is constitutional, and in a few days, after the approval of these two laws, the electoral process will begin," Sheinbaum said during her morning press conference.
