MEXICO CITY, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Mexico is set to introduce laws implementing a significant judicial overhaul, with proposals expected to be presented in Congress in the coming days, according to lower house leader Ricardo Monreal. This constitutional reform mandates that all judges be elected by popular vote over the next three years.
The move aims to enhance judicial accountability and public trust in the legal system. By allowing citizens to elect judges, the government seeks to reduce corruption and increase transparency within the judiciary.
This reform could have far-reaching implications for Mexico's legal landscape and may influence judicial practices in other countries considering similar reforms.
