Presidential aspirant affirms that justice in Mexico “is sold to the highest bidder”
Presidential candidate Adán Augusto López, at a recent event in Monterrey, asserted the need for judicial reform in Mexico.
He emphasized that the current system disproportionately benefits the wealthy, arguing that financial resources often determine access to justice.
López warned that without changes, the judiciary may appear more like a marketplace than a court of law.
Drawing attention to the lack of justice for lower-income groups, López questioned when a marginalized individual last won a land-related lawsuit against a wealthy individual.
He suggests that the judicial system is biased towards those with more resources, a trend he plans to change if elected.
López shared a local philosophy, saying injustice is likened to a snake that only bites the barefoot—the poor and marginalized.
But he pledged that his administration would work to rectify these inequalities, aiming for a Supreme Court that truly serves the needs of all Mexicans.
This event, attended by roughly 2,000 supporters, underlines López’s dedication to judicial reform as a key element of his campaign.
