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 “legal experience” and a letter of recommendation from anyone in order to run.
墨西哥正在进行世界上最彻底的法律制度改革之一，这让投资者和公民都感到震惊。在总统任期的最后一个月，安德烈斯•曼努埃尔•洛佩斯•奥夫拉多尔正在利用其联盟在国会的绝对多数席位，推动宪法改革，更换整个最高法院和数千名州、联邦和上诉法院法官，由民众投票选出替补人员。某些职位的候选人只需要法律学位、五年未定义的“法律工作经验”和任何人的推荐信即可参选。
