In a move that has heightened tensions between the Mexican government and judicial authorities, the country’s Senate voted on Wednesday to terminate 13 trusts held for the judiciary. This decision comes as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador continues to assert that the judiciary is plagued by corruption and is not serving the best interests of the public. The termination of these trusts is seen as a bold step towards implementing the president’s agenda of dismantling what he perceives as corrupt institutions.
However, this decision has sparked criticism from many who argue that it undermines the independence of the judiciary. The trusts in question were used to provide financial resources for various programs and initiatives undertaken by the judiciary system. Critics claim that by terminating these trusts, the government is effectively exerting control over the budget and resources of the judiciary, thereby compromising its ability to function autonomously.
