Outdated legal institutions in Mexico hinder democratic progress and indigenous rights.
The legal system in Mexico is facing challenges due to outdated institutions that were established during an authoritarian regime. Despite some progress in democratic elections, legal institutions like the Constitution are still lacking. Reforms to the legal system are difficult to achieve due to political divisions and confrontations between parties. An example of this is the recent constitutional reform on indigenous rights, which faced significant opposition from several states. This highlights the challenges not only in constitutional reforms but also in the general legislative process in Mexico.
