Mexico Shifts Power to Central Government in Legislative Blitz
Reforms trigger backlash from opposition over democracy concerns
Mexico’s ruling party has passed a series of sweeping legislative reforms that significantly concentrate power within the federal government.
The fast-tracked measures affect sectors ranging from energy and education to judiciary oversight, sparking sharp criticism from opposition leaders and civil society groups.
Critics argue the move undermines checks and balances and threatens democratic norms, while the government defends the changes as necessary for national development.
