#mexico #popularvote #nbcnews
may we follow the mexican example. goodbye crooked scotus! separate scotus from trump!
Communist move you must vote!!🗳️
The judges. That. Are. In office are founded by us companies and corrupt politicians
Who is already funding the current judges
Mexico following in the footsteps of America with this move.
We the people we elect churches and it’s all about voting
Popular vote is not the best way to govern. That is governing by mob rule.
They are very corrupted. At times you don’t know who to trust.
Here you’re guilty until proven. MEXICO
Your are Guilty without any proof!!!
Proof God isnt with Catholics, only protestant nations are 1st world
America needs to allow its citizens to vote for Supreme Court Justices. Look how corrupt they are. Way to go Mexico. This is real freedom. AMLO is a real president and leader of his people. He needs to come here and clean up this mess. We have no leaders here truly.
All are corruption
Those were the families of the judges and of the opposition party ( PAN). The majority of population approves to change our reform and our current judicial system).
the mafia is already influencing the judicial power and have their own people working in the system or get paid big amounts of money to get their way and stay above the law and never get punished.
The thinking on this topic has already been Done by the US…
the president explains how excessive the monetary benefits for judges are annually. expensive lunch benefits, end of year bonus. he makes half of what a federal judge makes in just salaries.
The reform is nothing but a mafia
“Pueblo” can be one and the same & synonymous with mafia/narco.
AMOL is a narco elected President. Corruption is so prevalent in Mexico. Electing judges is handing total control to the cartel interests. The people of Mexico will never be considered 1st, and a massive headache geopolitically. Next thing will be a free trade agreement with China.
Good for Mexico! These judges were so corrupt to the core… they were extremely overpaid and soo brived…the people has the say this is democracy at its best.
The “protestors” are judicial workers themselves, judges, clerks, magistrates. The media make it sound like the average person broke into the senate. All Insee are corrupt judges fighting to keep their privileged position
Norma pina is coruts is trash
The current Judicial system is corrupt and full of nepotism! Currently only the white collar criminals and cartel criminals buy their way out of jail while the poor are left to rot in jail because they have no money to pay this corrupt system! So, YES! Most definitely the people should vote thier judges.
This event gave NBC, CNN and ABC chubbies.
Lopez Obrador is doing this to ensure that his party can stay in power for decades and do whatever they want with the country with the help of the cartels.
They had a super majority in their houses. So basically they should have voted.
VIVA AMLO and the 4th transformation people wil desire the country future
Bunch of liars and corrupt politicians just like the US
This News would Not say the truth, most mexicans voted that way, it is a democracy, Deep State don’t like it because its gonna be hardert to corrupt judges now since they have to be voted every certain amount of years.
Viva México Cabrones.
El presidentito mejicano tiene órdenes de regalar barriles de petróleo mejicano a Cuba.
Todo el dinero de los presuntos carteles mejicanos de menchitos y chapitos, nos lo traen a Miami.
A los mejicanos los tenemos intimidados y de rodillas.
Viva el Cártel de Miami !!
A Claudia y los jueces… los vamos a poner a nuestro servicio.. como al senior k–kas
Jajaja viva México y la gente mexicana!
It is not controversial. 75% of Mexicans want change.
Dictatorship? Jajjajjajaja
Why media innthe US always get is wrong?
The people against the work in the judiciary systrm.
40% relatives working the judiciary system.
Corruption from the opposition for sure, trying to keep themselves in power vs being for the people.
Wow almost 1000 likes in two days, your propaganda is so effective (eye roll).
This will stop current corruption and goes to Corrupt politicians and judges too. There thousands of open cases against politicians and none is been resolved, all are free due to help on this corrupt judges. People of Mexico is woken up and looking for justice. Just remember the students arrested by police and were found dead that hasn’t been resolved just to mention a case.
Communist president is problems
Bad
@2:50 This Colombian professor needs to read the reforms. The elections will be publically funded.
the end of the corrupt judiciary system.
What can be more clean and democratic than people choosing their judges? If they fail they can be removed and punished by a judicial supervising comitee. Its the best decision 😊
Good job Amlo
Thanks narcopanistas 🤮💩🤮💩🤮
How can justice be fair or blind if judges will now be more concerned on the popularity of their rulings than doing what they feel is naturally just?
People desperately fighting to keep corruption in place! Nothing worse than overpaid judges throwing away the principles of their country’s founding. Harder to be corrupt when you have to answer to the people.
Narcopanistas
This is good for Mexico, don’t let this reporting confuse you. Remember, the main problem that Mexico is combating is corruption, and many judges are appointed by their friends, as favors. Nepotism and cronyism are huge problems in Mexico, all related to core problem of corruption. What is the point of keeping a system of appointments when those that appoint them are politicians? Give it a chance to believe this is a true democratic need for Mexico.
Todos esos eran hijos de jueces
Mexican politicians should be worry about the burden they put on their citizens when they encourage them to migrate abroad.
For example, Canada should stop, migration from Mexico for two major concerns, illegal migration from Canada to America and the labor exploitation from Chinese firms in Canada to Mexican migrantes.
That so Canada taxpayers don’t burder from lawsuits.
If Mexican everything is chosen by the majority, then is predicted to be lead by Morena, since it’s known to care for it’s citizens like Ñoñora said “don’t let yourself get treated as a second class citizens”, although I though he was referring to citizens in Endomex whos drainage water spill and overflow the Mexican streets year after year, even after a mighty bienestar politicians if chosen promise to end citizens poverty by so much 😂😏
Corrupted mofos out 😂😂😂😂
Of curse they want to stop it,they are all over the judicial system incuding family members, friends,people who didn’t even finish law school, and they are getting paid an disgusting amount of money.
Do not believe that guy what he saying he’s against of the people trying to do the right things for Mexico basically his crooked corruption they think they’re doing good in Mexico
MEXICO IS CLEANING UP THE CORRUPTION! CANADA AND USA AREA WORRIED SAME WILL HAPPENED TO CORRUPTION CLEAN UP IN USA AND CANADA
USA JUDGES ARE NEXT!
Mexico more democratic than the united states
You voted a woman who is run by the liberals. Liberals are demons!!
These little group of “pacific protestors”, which broke illegally into the senate, are a drop of water compare to the ocean of people that support president AMLO, who voted for the Plan C or Judiciary Reform, and who voted for the now virtual president Claudia Sheinbaum. “The pacific protestors” was a simulation organize and done by the criminal PRI and PAN parties. These people that did break into the Mexican senate were paid individuals – experts in social disruption and revolts. And some of the “pacifists” are sons and daughters of corrupt politicians and “business” people. Since 2018- to date, Mexicans have enjoyed freedoms like never before, and president AMLO has done more for the Mexican people in 6 years than the PRI and PAN governments in 85 years. President AMLO has never oppressed the controlled MSM, neither his adversaries. The controlled MSM paints perceptions which are not base on reality or truth. More than 35 million people voted for MORENA, the president to be -Claudia Sheinbaum, and the Judicial Reform or Plan C.
Elecciones need money ? This guy has not paid attention. The people are tired of having a corrupted Judicial system that liberates high profile criminals first for profit AND second for any political gain obtained by blaming current administration for increased violence pointing out the failed stragedy being used against stopping crime.
This is what happens when a woman is elected leader Isaiah 3:12, beware if kamalaeon is elected as president, the united states is doomed
There are people still left in Mexico?!?!
130m. Irish man
The end of the Mexican Republic ,overwhelmed by the CORRUPTION a of #NarcpresidentAmlo ,his sons ,his party Morena and his 4T movement.
I have noticed the darkness in their Christian faith and can only attribute that to their lack of God in Christ!, God coming to earth to save humanity from tribalism and death. They faith has been organized seems like the orthodox magicians in Russian doing finger paintings
¡Que Cristo regrese a México como Dios que regresa a la tierra! Sus calles apestan a hombres mágicos ortodoxos rusos, que ponen su fe en el hombre, en lugar de en Dios, su salvador.
Viva Mexico!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
These people are betraying their country…..ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE a true democracy
Stop spreading misinformation, only extreme right wing people are angry about this judiciary reform. Most of the citizens we are very proud of this reform, we are done with the current judges because they only care about money and help big greedy companies.
los carteles estan pagando todo eso 😅😅😅😅
That not true
You lied
WEF next stop
Viva 🇲🇽
These judges have been corrupt for decades, and the people never had a say. NOW the mexican people have the power to put who they want in. A true democracy that Americans know nothing about! Most Americans are bent over backward over a supreme court that they have no power in voting in.
These Judges were the most corrupt in the country. They paid themselves more than any elected officials along with all the bribes they took from wealthy interests.
Yes!!! Stand up to your government Mexico. Teach them we don’t want dictatorship. We the people want FREEDOM.
Is there a way to put the whole country to sleep? Just for a decade, or so…
What chaos!!? LOL this was literally a small group of people who are friends and family to the most corrupted judges on the planet. Complaining they are losing privileges and term limits.
What they did was bought people or tricked many to go against this when its a benefit to the people
Why are creolos still in power? I’m sick of seeing people who don’t look like us running the government. They are not for the people because they are not the people.
Actually those whi invaded the place are family, students or friends of some of the judges, and Norma piña has a very long tail of corruption placing people with a los of charges free so yes the current judicial power is a place of corruption for what everyone knows 47 states of U.S can elect so, why we can’t ? I say stop interfering in other countries more when our current president and government are over 80% of approval.
Too bad the cartels run the country down there.
In the United States the reason why our judges are appointed to the positions is because well let’s just say that a certain mafia boss Al Capone was basically mocking the US judicial system by bribing judges and back then judges were elected not appointed in the early 20th century and it’s because of Al Capone and the Italian mafia throughout the US that’s pretty much why our judges became appointed and it became much harder for Mafia bosses to get what they want out of the judicial system.
Turning judges into politicians is a bad idea because they’re going to have biased opinions towards defendants who deserve a fair trial if you don’t appoint a judge that doesn’t have a biased opinion towards an individual then you’re setting yourself up for a disaster in your judicial system. This is also another question for the Mexican Government how are these judges going to require the funding are they going to turn to the cartels for example are they going to turn to companies to fund their campaigns even though this is kind of stupid for the Mexican Government to actually consider doing this that could lead to yet more reasons why you shouldn’t elect your judges. The US made the same mistake during the early 20th century before the US decided to appoint judges instead of having them elected.
Such a good law. Thank u. The court system in Mexico is horrible.
Just wondering how many comments are in favor of Mexico elected freedom but see no problem with appointed nominees and mandates.
Good for the people 🤗🤗👍👍🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
They are already corrupted you can’t save Mexico. Continue build the wall and close the borders. ❤❤TRUMP2024VANCE
The first woman Mexicans president wants to turn Mexico into a dictatorship, that’s why we must not vote for Kamala
Morena wants to capture EVERY check and balance against them and bring back the corrupt dictatorship of the 1970s and 80s.
You allow the Communists pro Zionists to be elected now you will really know what their invention Communism is really all about. Permitieron a los Comunistas pro Zionistas a ser elegido. Ahora sabran lo que verdaderamente su invencion el Communismo es.
The citizens of the world are cooked!
Mexicans getting bent out of shape over corruption is crazzzzyy. That’s how yall roll. Corruptico
Good, they have to try something different
It’s a great thing!! The United States are the only ones who care because now they can’t have their way 🤣🤣
Sounds like a great idea but not for the one’s in power
Oh no sad!
