Mexico Will Elect New Judges on June 1 After a Contentious Process. A Look at some of the Candidates
- Mexico will hold its first judicial election on June 1, with more than 2,600 candidates competing for 881 positions nationwide.
- This election follows a contentious reform passed last September under former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador aimed at reducing corruption by electing judges.
- Candidates include Silvia Delgado García, who represented Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán in 2016, and Mauricio Tapia Maltos, a young lawyer campaigning in Mexico City’s central square.
- Critics argue the reforms risk politicizing the judiciary and weakening its independence, with some labeling Delgado García 'high risk' for defending alleged drug traffickers.
- The election could transform Mexico’s judiciary by increasing accountability, but concerns remain about politicization and safety in violent states like Sinaloa.
