Pre-selected Judges? Oaxaca's "Accordion" Election Sparks Outrage

Allegations of Pre-determined Judicial Elections in Oaxaca, Mexico In a recent development in Oaxaca, Mexico, a video has surfaced alleging the pre-selection of candidates for various judicial positions, including the Supreme Court. The video, posted by reporter Jaime Guerrero, details a system referred to as an "accordion," which seemingly dictates the election outcome. The "accordion" appears to provide pre-selected candidates with assigned ballot numbers, effectively influencing the election results. The video lists several candidates for various positions, including those for the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and the Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial. The specific numbers assigned to each candidate are clearly shown. This suggests that the election is not truly free and fair, but rather a pre-ordained process. While the video doesn't offer direct quotes from voters, the implication is clear: the system is designed to ensure the success of specific candidates, undermining the democratic process. This event raises serious concerns about the integrity of the Mexican judicial system and the potential for political manipulation in the selection of judges. The video serves as a powerful illustration of these concerns, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability in the judicial selection process. Further investigation is required to confirm the validity of these allegations and to determine the extent of any potential influence.
