Mexico is barrelling ahead with one of the world’s most radical shake-ups of a legal system, alarming investors and citizens alike. In his final month in office, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is using his coalition’s congressional supermajority to ram through constitutional changes to change the entire supreme court and several thousand state, federal and appeal court judges with replacements elected by popular vote. Candidates for some posts will need only a law degree, five years of undefined “l(fā)egal experience” and a letter of recommendation from anyone in order to run.
墨西哥正在進行世界上最徹底的法律制度改革之一,這讓投資者和公民都感到震驚。在總統(tǒng)任期的最后一個月,安德烈斯?曼努埃爾?洛佩斯?奧夫拉多爾正在利用其聯(lián)盟在國會的絕對多數(shù)席位,推動憲法改革,更換整個最高法院和數(shù)千名州、聯(lián)邦和上訴法院法官,由民眾投票選出替補人員。某些職位的候選人只需要法律學(xué)位、五年未定義的“法律工作經(jīng)驗”和任何人的推薦信即可參選。
