Mexico faces concerns over political polarization and judicial intimidation

The current political landscape in Mexico is characterized by a perceived consolidation of power by those in office, who are accused of treating the republic as their own property. There are concerns regarding the lack of space for political dissent and the selective use of judicial processes to intimidate and imprison adversaries.

The rise of 'obradorismo' is described as having utilized social polarization and the exploitation of public dissatisfaction to secure power. The text notes that while majority votes have sustained various governments, including poor ones, the use of social programs to win elections is a recurring theme in political maneuvering.
