In a significant upheaval, eight of the eleven justices on Mexico's Supreme Court have announced their resignations following a controversial judicial overhaul that mandates judges be elected. The reforms, aimed at combating corruption, have led to fears regarding judicial independence. Supreme Court President Norma Piña and seven others opted to resign rather than participate in elections scheduled for June 2025, driven in part by concerns over their pensions and the integrity of the judiciary. This situation heightens tensions between Mexico’s legislature and judiciary, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis.
