Two of the Mexico City mayor's close aides were murdered in broad daylight today in a largely residential neighborhood near where many of my friends live. In a city that saw improvements to the homicide rate in recent years, it was a huge shock. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It’s an election unlike any other in Mexico. No sports stadiums packed with the party faithful. The smiling faces of omnipresent candidates almost completely absent on TV or glitzy posters. But the stakes couldn’t be higher. Great piece via Maya Averbuch bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Will Mexico’s judicial elections hurt democracy or make the courts accountable? - By Megan Janetsky (The Associated Press) — The fiercely debated question is whether electing judges will deepen democratic decay or purge courts of rampant corruption and impunity apnews.com/article/mexico…

While the judiciary has a lot of scores to settle, nothing about electing judges will improve access to justice nor make Mexico more democratic. Thank you The Associated Press and Megan Janetsky for the opportunity to talk about this Sunday's judicial elections. apnews.com/article/mexico…

Candidates are officially nonpartisan. But as Megan Janetsky reports for AP, “A number of former Morena government officials and allies…have posted lists on social media of which ones to elect.” apnews.com/article/mexico…

AMLO appears in public for the first time since leaving office eight months ago to vote in the judicial elections brought about by his purging of Mexico’s courts

As votes are tallied in Mexico’s judicial elections – set to transform Mexico’s courts – one of the top contenders for the Supreme Court (with no experience as a judge) campaigned that he is “more ready than a pork rind.” Not clear if this video is what got him so many votes.
