Mexico president lashes out at supreme court amid looming constitutional crisis

Sheinbaum accuses court of overstepping as it prepares to vote on reform that makes almost all judges elected by vote

Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum has accused the country’s supreme court of overstepping its functions and “trying to change what the people of Mexico decided” as it prepares to discuss whether to strike down parts of a transformative judicial reform.

The court is expected to vote on Tuesday whether the controversial reform violates other parts of the constitution, setting up a showdown with Sheinbaum barely a month into her government.
