President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared on Tuesday, August 27, that he is putting his relationship with the embassies of the United States and Canada on hold in light of the controversial statements made by their representatives, Ken Salazar and Graeme C. Clark.

During his press conference, López Obrador announced that he made this decision after the diplomats of the United States and Canada in Mexico criticized the proposal for the reform of the Judicial Branch.

“They have to learn to respect Mexico’s sovereignty,” said AMLO.

The Canadian ambassador to Mexico, Graeme C. Clark, said in recent days that investors in his country expressed their concern about the reform to the Judicial Branch proposed by the Mexican government, which seeks to have judges and ministers of the Supreme Court elected by popular vote.

Likewise, last week, Ken Salazar expressed his concern about the proposal that proposes the direct election of judges and magistrates.

In the eyes of the diplomat, this measure is a danger to the democratic functioning of the country that would put at risk the commercial integration between Mexico, the United States and Canada, under the framework of the USMCA.

The ambassador also warned that the direct election of judges could facilitate the infiltration of drug trafficking and criminal groups into the judicial system.
