“There is no doubt that the judiciary will be autonomous. If the goal had been for the president to control the Supreme Court, we would have made a Zedillo-style reform,” referring to reforms by former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo that were implemented in the 1990s, especially in the judicial system, that they failed to improve the socio-economic situation of the country and that some of them benefited certain economic sectors more than the general population.
