💨 Abstract

In Mexico's recent judicial elections, Silvia Delgado García, a former lawyer for drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, won a judgeship in Chihuahua. Critics, including a human rights group, labeled her "high risk" due to her past work. The elections, aimed at increasing judicial accountability, saw low voter turnout and concerns about politicization. Delgado García defended her past work, emphasizing the right to effective defense.
