Sinaloa Cartel Influence Feared As Mexico’s “Golden Triangle” Votes To Pick Federal Judges | CLRCUT

Next weekend, Mexico will hold its first-ever judicial elections, allowing citizens to vote for Supreme Court justices and other magistrates. Set against the backdrop of Durango’s rugged mountains and the notorious Golden Triangle, this historic vote has sparked controversy. Critics warn the reform, backed by President Claudia Sheinbaum and former president Obrador, threatens judicial independence and opens the door to corruption. Among the 5,000 candidates are individuals with criminal convictions, cartel ties, or disbarred legal records — including El Chapo’s former lawyer. Rights groups say inadequate vetting and rushed processes have left the judiciary vulnerable to infiltration by organised crime. The vote, taking place on June 1, could redefine Mexico’s legal system — or further erode public trust. 00:00 - INTRODUCTION 00:31 - MEXICO'S DRUG HUB PICKS JUDGES IN HISTORIC VOTE 01:59 - EL CHAPO’S LAWYER WANTS TO BE A JUDGE 03:30 - JUDGES OR CROOKS? 06:33 - JUDICIAL REFORM OR REGRESSION? 08:03 - “CRIMINAL GROUPS COULD WIN” 08:54 - MEXICO VOTE RIGGED ALREADY? #mexico #elections #judicialelections #supremecourt #durango #mexicocartels #goldentriangle #claudiasheinbaum #obrador #elchapo #mexicolegalsystem #mexiconews #worldnews #clrcut #clrcutnews #internationalnews #globalnews #news –––––––––––––––––––––– CLRCUT on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Z3K2cT CLRCUT on Instagram: https://bit.ly/4hOUVXl CLRCUT on X: https://bit.ly/3Z52ZMy CLRCUT is everything beyond the usual noise.
