On Sunday, Mexico’s first judicial elections are expected to splutter and irritate voters who are still trying to understand the reform process that will enhance the country’s court system. Late last year, Morena, Mexico’s ruling party, overhauled the legal system, causing rallies and accusations that the changes are an attempt by those in power to seize control of a branch of government that is currently beyond their control. According to Laurence Patin, chairman of the Mexican legitimate business Juicio Justo,” It’s an effort to control the jury system, which has been a sort of thorn in the side” of those in strength.” It serves as a counterbalance to everything that exists in a good democracy, though. Hispanic voters will now choose between about 7, 700 candidates vying for more than 2, 600 criminal positions, instead of judges being chosen on a merit and experience system. The votes are a way to clean the jury system of fraud, according to Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum and gathering allies. According to critics, the election was destabilize politics and make it more vulnerable to organized crime and other dishonest individuals trying to seize control of the court system. In the run-up to the ballot, that approach has only gotten more disorganized. Several candidates for election have raised concerns about civil society organizations like Defensorxs, including lawyers representing some of Mexico’s most feared gang leaders and local authorities who were forced to step down due to corruption scandals. Ex-convicts who have been imprisoned for centuries for drug trafficking to the United States and candidates who have connections to religious organizations whose moral president has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing minors are among those putting themselves forward. Voters have been plagued by uncertainty over a ballot method that Patin warned had been put up in a hurry. Citizens frequently have to choose from between 100 and 100 individuals who are not permitted to express their party affiliations or conduct extensive fighting. Some Mexicans claim to be voting deaf as a result. Voting guides being distributed across Mexico have been subject to investigation by Mexico’s electoral authority, which critics claim is a flagrant attempt by political parties to load the ballot in their favor. Political parties “were not only going to sit with their hands crossed,” Patin said. On Friday, Miguel Garcia, a 78-year-old former construction contractor, was peering at a set of advertisements and voting guides with the eyes and amounts of candidates in front of the region’s Supreme Court. He claimed that he had traveled across Mexico City to try to remind himself before the ballot, but he couldn’t find any information other than outside the courthouse, and that he had been strongly scribbling down their names on a tiny scrap of paper. There is no information for us in the area where I live, he said. ” I’m confused because they’re telling us to go out and vote but we’re not sure who to vote for.”
