A national opposition against regression in Mexico

The judicial reform that Lopez Obrador and his spurious legislative steamroller have managed to remit from the Chamber of Deputies to the Senate of the Republiccurrently represents a a treacherous attack on the Constitution from the very depths of the parliamentary core of our country. negative effectseven without being approved, significantly affect the markets and financial certainty and are directly reflected in the parity between the weight and the dollar American, despite having been a source of pride for the occupant of the National Palace during the current six-year term, the Mexican peso with a depreciation So far this year, with a loss of around 20%, it is currently the biggest losing currency of the year in the world.

The list of negative consequences for the national economy It widens with the worry that has awakened between international investors in the sense that this reform would represent an unnecessary weakening of the certainty of international markets for Attract or retain capital in Mexico. Legal uncertainty discourages foreign investment in all its forms, erodes the competitiveness and produces capital flight. Stability and confidence in the judicial system are essential for the financial sectorand losing those minimum conditions directly breaks with that expectation of development.

A critical look reveals that the reformfar from strengthening the justicewould endanger the fragile Mexican democracyby nullifying judicial independence and concentrating even more power in the hands of the Executive and its allied political forces. The division of powers that has been a cornerstone of any democracy ensures that there is no accumulation of power in a single institution or individual, creating a system of checks and balances that prevents authoritarianism. However, judicial reform seeks to erode these checks and balances, where the Judiciary will exert total political influence on the destiny of the Judiciary.

In this context, it is of vital importance that all opposition parties manage to align themselves with the sole purpose of avoiding this arbitrary imposition of Obradorism. Senatehe Institutional Revolutionary Party has already expressed its vote against the Reform, which added to the National Action and Citizen Movement Parties They already have together 43 votes out of a total of 128. And despite the federal government’s attempts to fragment and coerce members of the opposition and the regime’s mathematical interpretations and spoon-fed accounts, they still need one vote to pass the reform, so the whole world has its eyes on the 43 senators from the oppositionThe truth is that today Mexico and the Judicial System They largely depend on a united, cohesive opposition capable of preventing this attempt to definitively seize the last bastion of defense of the Constitution.

We have seen the dominoes fall like INEto the Electoral Courtinfiltrated and dismantled from within. The autonomous constitutional bodies are on a sort of tightrope, leaving the Senate and the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation as the last two hopes for our republican and democratic system. We have accompanied the workers of the Judicial Branch, in their marches and demonstrations, and young people who today study in the various faculties and schools of law in Mexico and in Sinaloa, because their struggle today is the struggle for our country against the attempt of the ruling party to establish more than a new maximato: a tropical dictatorship. We are in the crucial days and hours of this national resistance, in which the future of justice and democracy in Mexico largely depend on it. Today, a united national opposition, beyond colors, is the true hope that remains.
