Impact of Electoral Reforms on Mexico’s Democracy

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Andrew Rudman, Director of the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute.  Also joining us is Lorenzo Córdova, Councilor President of Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE). Córdova discusses the threat from the passage of a bill by Mexico’s legislature designed to curb the power of the INE, the non-partisan and independent agency that oversees elections.  They also discuss recent mass protests across Mexico in support of the INE’s mission and the success that organization has had in helping protect political stability in Mexico.
