Sheinbaum praised the reform as a “profoundly democratic event,” while Hugo Aguilar, a lawyer known for defending Indigenous rights, assumed the role of chief justice. Critics argue that electing judges threatens judicial independence and risks consolidating Morena’s power, particularly after low voter turnout cast doubt on the legitimacy of the elections.
