The Supreme Court in Mexico analyzed the proposal to declare unconstitutional the petition for popular consultation to prosecute former presidents requested by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Six of the 11 magistrates voted in favor of constitutionality and restated the question previously suggested by AMLO. According to lawyer Marcos del Rosario, “basically, even with the modification of the question in the structure left by the Court, it is still a state of 'what for?'
