Mexico City, Mar 12 (efe-epa).- Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Friday he will seek a probe of the judges who suspended a recently enacted electricity sector overhaul, accusing them of acting on behalf of foreign companies and private interests.
“We’re going to go to the Supreme Court and we want the (Federal Judiciary Council, the body that oversees courts in Mexico) to review the actions of these judges, because it would be horrific if the country’s judicial branch were to be at the service” of private concerns, the head of state, popularly known as AMLO, said in his regular morning press conference at this capital’s National Palace.

MEXICO CITY (AP) The International Chamber of Commerce’s Mexico chapter said Wednesday it expects a wave of lawsuits, legal appeals and international investor-dispute arbitration panels, after Mexico enacted a law favoring government-owned power generation over cleaner private electrical plants.
Many wind, solar and gas-fired power stations were built in Mexico by foreign companies, but President Andrés Manuel López Obrador plans to give priority to state-owned coal, oil and diesel plants.
The chamber said Wednesday the provisions of the new law violate Mexico’s constitution, which guarantees the right to competition and a healthy environment, and appears to violate investment protection and trade agreements.
