Ernesto Zedillo warns of threats to democracy in Mexico

Ernesto Zedillo, former President of Mexico and Member of Club de Madrid, shares an open letter denouncing recent judicial and electoral reforms in Mexico, which he warns severely undermine institutional independence and the core values of democracy.

In his analysis, Zedillo highlights how these reforms weaken democratic checks and balances, threaten minority rights, and jeopardize the integrity of the rule of law. His message is a call to safeguard the separation of powers, judicial impartiality, and the autonomy of electoral authorities—foundations essential to any robust democracy.

Zedillo’s open letter is clearly aligned to Club de Madrid’s firm commitment to the defense of democratic principles and fundamental rights, and the promotion and strengthening of democratic governance worldwide.
