Protesters urge Mexico's president to respect democracy

Protests erupted across Mexico against President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s proposed judicial overhaul, which critics argue could undermine democratic checks and balances. Demonstrators, including federal court workers and judges, expressed concerns over plans to elect judges and eliminate independent regulatory agencies. The governing Morena party holds a majority in Congress, facilitating potential constitutional changes. U.S. officials have warned that these reforms pose risks to Mexico's democracy.
