Not sure how this piece could neglect to mention the Supreme Court’s newfound eagerness to invalidate congressional legislation since 2018–one of the main reasons behind the reform.

Thank you for reading! This very important point has been mentioned in other articles, but remember: This is not a full rehashing of the history and sins of the judicial branch but rather a concise overview of what the judicial reform is. However, there is a nod at this in the section that refers to critiques of the branch’s unresponsiveness to popular demands. Please do continue to share your insights!

Is it not perhaps also, in addition to the potential attack on the independence of the Judiciary and the Rule of Law, a “risk management” preventing judicial proceedings against the political community in office of the governing party when a different party comes to govern (2030)? BTW great piece! Congrats!
