Mexican Supreme Court Faces Mass Resignations Amid Judicial Reform

Justice Alfredo Gutierrez's resignation signals a potential constitutional crisis as Mexico's judiciary undergoes controversial changes.

Justice Alfredo Gutierrez announced his resignation, effective August 2025, as Mexico's Supreme Court faces a major overhaul.
The resignation follows a controversial judicial reform that allows for the popular election of judges, raising concerns about judicial independence.
Eight of the eleven Supreme Court justices are reportedly considering resignation, escalating tensions with the government.
The reform reduces the Supreme Court's size from eleven to nine justices and is being challenged for its constitutionality.
Critics argue the reform could lead to politically influenced courts, with inexperienced judges potentially undermining the judicial system.
