Anti-judicial reform protesters Supported by: Government of Mexico Norma Lucía Piña Hernández Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas Marko Antonio Cortés Mendoza Andrés Manuel López Obrador Claudia Sheinbaum Gerardo Fernández Noroña A series of ongoing protests began in Mexico on 19 August 2024, following the start of the legislative process of the 2024 Mexican judicial reform.

[1] On 5 February 2024, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador proposed a judicial reform, claiming it would root out corruption in the judiciary, which he had previously criticized as being controlled by a minority, complicit in white-collar crime, and influenced by external actors.

On 1 September, the first day of the LXVI Legislature, numerous students from private and public universities protested in solidarity with judicial workers, gathering at Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City.

Participants included students from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, the Escuela Libre de Derecho, and the Universidad Iberoamericana.

Once Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez announced his support for the judicial reform, securing the required two-thirds majority for its passage, the protesters clashed with Mexico City police stationed outside in an attempt to storm the building.

On 11 September, as state legislatures convened to ratify the judicial reform, protesters stormed legislative buildings in Yucatán, Baja California, and Puebla, causing sessions to be postponed or suspended.
