Mexico is poised to amend its constitution this weekend to require all judges to be elected as part of a judicial overhaul championed by the outgoing president but slammed by critics as a blow to the country’s rule of law.
Strong and diverse press, strong and enforced rules against politically motivated decisions. A judge should know that, if they don't strictly follow the law, they'll lose their job. This won't make the thing perfect, but far better than officially political judges.
So how would the judges be appointed under this system and why is it better than having them chosen from the people?
By competition and diploma. A judge is a legal technician. Why elect him on political bases? We do not elect an engineer on political criteria, we take the one who seems the best among the candidates.
If the current system hasn't prevented political influence, then the method of choosing obviously isn't guaranteeing unbiased judges anyway, so what's the point in keeping it as opposed to elected judges?
There are plenty of lawyers prepared to be judges in Mexico, competition and diplomas are gonna be a part of the process. Corrupt judges do have titles and diplomas after all. The democratic element is to complete a pre-selection made by the Congress, the Executive and the Judicial powers, at least for magistrates and the Supreme Court.
So how would the judges be appointed under this system
The state will pick the candidates (currently under the facist control of Morena) and the civilians will be used to validate their picks, regardless of studies, skills, ethics or morals.
and why is it better than having them chosen from the people?
It's not, it's a revenge because the magistrate has blocked illegal reforms over and over
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[4][5] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.[6][5][7] Wikipedia
Here, learn what fascism means, then check it with what morena and the president have been doing, the powers they've been giving to the militia, their acts against the separation of powers and their disdain/neglect against human rights and the common people.
You seem quite competent in researching from Wikipedia. Could you point me to the part of the article mentioning how fascism is related to women feminist presidents with a PhD, democratically and legtimately elected with a remarkable progressive agenda?
You mean the president's puppet who insults the feminist movement at every opportunity? The one who used misogynist insults against her opposition during the campaign? The one who cheated to get her title? A progressive agenda that includes to keep destroying the jungle, burning fuel oil instead of leaning into green energy and destroying the private property so they can discretionally pick and choose? The one who defends Ana Guevara who keeps stealing and insulting the athletes? The one who decided to completely ignore the LGTB+ movement and supports to keep neglecting the CNDH so they no longer can be heard?
Wow... She's so progressive that she is going backwards, just like her puppeteer.
Also, really cool when you move the post because the things the goverment does hurt your propaganda.
There is no such thing as an apolitical judge. The judges you see as apolitical are just centrists supporting the status quo, but that is not actually an apolitical frame of action.
