MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has stepped up a campaign of interfering with the nation’s courts after they blocked some of his policy initiatives.
This week the president and his staff unleashed a flurry of accusations against judges, accusing some of working for his opponents.
One federal judge drew the president’s wrath by issuing an injunction against López Obrador’s move to limit private renewable and gas-fired energy plants, and a government plan to fingerprint cellphone users.
