mexican president lopez said in the capital mexico city on the 27th. mexico has "suspended" relations with the u.s. embassy in mexico in response to remarks made by u.s. ambassador to mexico salazar on mexico's judicial reform.

lopez said at a regular press conference that day that salazar had recently criticized the judicial reform promoted by the mexican government, and therefore mexico decided to "suspend" its relations with the us embassy in mexico. "they must learn to respect mexico's sovereignty, which is not a trivial matter." lopez also said that mexico will still maintain bilateral relations with the us government.

salazar said at a press conference on the 22nd that the judicial reform measures implemented by the mexican government would "threaten the democratic system" and "weaken north american economic integration." lopez responded by saying, salazar's relevant words and deeds were "reckless" and "regrettable", reflecting the "interventionist policy" that the united states has long pursued in the americas.

mexico held a general election on june 2. on june 7, lopez said that the national regeneration movement party's coalition holds a majority of seats in the new parliament and will strive to get approval for judicial reform in the new parliament. media reports said that the judicial reform includes 20 reform measures such as the election of judges and departmental integration. lopez believes that the above reforms will help fight corruption and improve the efficiency of the judicial system, but critics believe that this may weaken judicial independence.
