Mexican Candidate Champions Indigenous Language Rights in Supreme Court Bid

In the heart of Mexico, a crucial election is underway, with candidate 48, Aristides Rodrigo, making a powerful plea for linguistic justice. His campaign focuses on the "Justice in Your Language" initiative, aiming to translate legal documents into Mexico's 68 indigenous languages. Rodrigo points out the current inequality, where nine out of ten indigenous people aren't judged in their native tongue. "Si hablas maya, tu sentencia debe ser en maya," he states, emphasizing that if you speak Mayan, your sentence should be delivered in Mayan. This resonates deeply with the indigenous communities who often face barriers to understanding legal proceedings. Rodrigo's video has garnered significant attention, highlighting the importance of his campaign and the need for inclusivity in the Mexican justice system. His initiative promises a fairer and more accessible legal process for all citizens, regardless of their language.
