A scandal that shakes the foundations of justice
In a twist that seems straight out of a political thriller, the judicial election in Mexico has become a battlefield where the shadows of organized crime lengthen over the candidates. Opposition deputies raised their voices with indignation, denouncing that more than 20 profiles with alleged links to drug trafficking have been legitimized by evaluation committees. As if the fate of justice were decided in a macabre tombola!
The warning that no one listened to
Raúl Lozano, vice coordinator of the Citizen Movement, launched an accusation that resonates like thunder: “We warned: this judicial reform was a trap”. According to him, both the government and organized crime conspired to install related judges and magistrates, transforming the Judiciary into a puppet of dark interests. “Where was the prompt and expeditious justice that they promised?” he cried, while revealing that some candidates even face accusations of carrying weapons and possessing narcotics.
Héctor Saúl Téllez, from the PAN, was not far behind. With words full of drama, he declared: “It is unacceptable that this mechanism has been used to assault the PJ”. He warned that this election will mark the end of judicial independence, where verdicts will no longer be impartial, but dictated by political pressure or, worse still, by the whip of drug trafficking.
A deception that burns like fire
The most explosive accusation came from the legislators themselves: “Morena and President Sheinbaum deceived us”. They promised accessible justice, but delivered a system vulnerable to crime. Even the Conference of the Mexican Episcopate expressed its fear: Ramón Castro, its president, admitted that the bishops see with horror how the PJ could fall into the hands of sinister characters. And the worst? Citizens will have to vote for them on June 1, as if choosing between the plague and cholera.
This is not just a scandal; It is a national tragedy. How did Mexico reach this abyss? The answer hurts: corruption, impunity and a judicial reform that, instead of healing, infected the wounds. Now, the country wonders: will there be a return when judges respond to the bosses and not to the law?
