  • Wild that anyone is protesting quite possibly the most progressive judicial reform I have seen. (Unless of course they have a monied interest in keeping mexico less democratic)

    • Really? Doesn’t seem that wild to me that a place where cartels have openly claimed responsibility for assassinating politicians that threaten the status quo might see a large pushback against a change to the status quo.

      • Monied interest as I said. This is not the voice of the people

        • You got any idea how easy it is for those with power to convince a few thousand suckers to defend their evil interests, WHILE genuinely believing they're doing the right thing? That's like 90% of content on social media.
