Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is facing a major crisis as a clash of democratic institutions threatens to upend the country. The judiciary is pushing back against the governing party’s overhaul of the courts, arguing that it violates the Constitution and could endanger democracy. Morena, the governing party, is determined to move forward with the changes despite legal challenges. The Supreme Court will soon rule on the matter, setting the stage for a direct confrontation between the executive and judiciary. Sheinbaum’s handling of the situation will reveal her approach to power and her vision for the country. Will she stick to her party’s plans or demonstrate flexibility? These questions have been on the minds of many Mexicans since Morena’s victory in the June elections. The outcome of this crisis will shape Mexico’s future and test Sheinbaum’s leadership.
