Mexican Supreme Court Judge Elections Marred by "Acordeones" Controversy

Mexico Supreme Court Judge Elections Spark Controversy: Azteca Noticias reports raise concerns about fairness and potential manipulation in the recent election of judges to the Mexican Supreme Court. The video shows a striking 100% correlation between candidates promoted through "acordeones"—campaign materials that some claim were used to influence voters—and those who won. INE council member Martin Faz commented, "Those who ordered, permitted, and promoted the distribution of the so-called acordeones are a shame to democracy." The INE is investigating allegations of irregularities. This raises significant questions about the integrity of the process and the independence of the judiciary.
