Mexico's Supreme Court dismisses proposal to water down judicial overhaul
Justice employees rally outside the Supreme Court Building in a show of support as the justices discuss a draft ruling that proposes the partial invalidation of the judicial reform approved by Congress, in Mexico City, November 5, 2024
MEXICO’S Supreme Court dismissed a proposal on Tuesday to water down the scope of a judicial overhaul to make all judges stand for election.
The failed effort would have required only Supreme Court justices to compete in elections instead of all of the country’s judges as mandated in a constitutional change approved in September.
Seven out of 11 justices voted for limiting the scope, but a special majority of eight was required.
