  • 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.
