MXThe European Parliament is set to approve the modernization of relations between the European Union (EU) and Mexico, despite ongoing concerns regarding human rights, security, and the rule of law in Mexico. EuroMP Borja Giménez Larraz highlighted issues such as corruption, which places Mexico last among OECD members in perceived corruption, and high levels of impunity estimated at 95%. Other concerns include political violence, disappearances exceeding 125,000 people, murders of human rights defenders, crimes against journalists, extreme violence, gender-based violence, and high rates of femicide. The reforms affecting autonomous institutions like the National Electoral Institute, which is central to Mexico’s democratic transition, have also sparked debate. Additionally, the proposed judicial reform, which involves citizen selection of judges with only 12% participation, has raised concerns about legal certainty. European businesses have expressed worries about these issues, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the rule of law and institutional stability to ensure confidence in investing in Mexico.
