Mexican Judicial Workers Strike Over Proposed Reforms

Unions criticize the move to elect judges, fearing it threatens judicial independence and merit-based promotions.

The indefinite strike began as lawmakers prepare to vote on judicial reforms next month.
Proposed changes include the popular election of judges, a key priority for President Lopez Obrador.
Unions argue the reforms endanger the judiciary's role as a counterbalance to the ruling party.
Investors are concerned about potential politicization and instability in legal rulings.
Lopez Obrador defends the reforms, accusing current judges of corruption and bias.
