Mexico’s opposition is pledging to block President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s controversial overhaul of the judicial system in the Senate, where the ruling coalition is within a hair of securing a two-thirds majority needed to change the Constitution.
Lopez Obrador’s Morena party and its allies are still one vote short of the 86 needed to approve the constitutional change in the Senate, according to opposition leaders. And just a few days before the bill is expected to go to a vote in the upper house, they are promising no one will change sides.
