Mexican Senate gives final approval for judicial reform
Mexico's Senate gave final approval on Wednesday to a sweeping reform that will reshape the country's judiciary system by electing judges by popular vote, cementing a victory for outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who has championed the controversial proposal.
Critics fear the reform could threaten the rule of law and damage Mexico's economy by hurting investment and undermining the North American trade pact.
