Mexico’s Supreme Court announced Thursday that it has ratified several reforms introduced by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and passed by Congress.
The decision, made by a panel of nine ministers, consolidates the legal foundation of policies ranging from social welfare programs to energy regulation.
The ruling is seen as a victory for López Obrador’s legacy, ensuring continuity of reforms that remain central to Mexico’s political and economic landscape.
Supporters argue the decision strengthens democratic institutions by respecting legislative authority, while critics warn that some reforms could limit competition in the energy sector.
The Court’s move comes amid ongoing debates about the balance between state intervention and market liberalization. Analysts say the ruling will shape Mexico’s policy trajectory for years to come, influencing both domestic governance and foreign investment.
