Mexico’s Government Will Try to Fix Failing Justice System

Following mass protests in Mexico over the apparent massacre of 43 trainee teachers two months ago, the Mexican government will unveil measures this week designed to improve policing and fix a failing justice system, lawmakers said on Tuesday.

Senate leader Miguel Barbosa of the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution said the measures would focus on issues like streamlining the chain of command in the police as well as improving the penal system and access to justice.

The government would present the plans on Thursday, Barbosa said in an interview with Mexican radio.
