Mexico's first judicial election is taking place today, aiming to appoint over 2,600 judicial positions. However, before the elections, 37 candidates have already been assassinated, prompting numerous politicians and families to spend significant money on armored vehicles for safety, resulting in a surge of orders for local armored car factories.

Protesters took to the streets, opposing Mexico's first-ever judicial election and questioning the legitimacy of voting for judges. Despite this, President Xóchitl Gálvez was present at the polls expressing support for democracy.

Currently, over 800 violent incidents have been reported, and many candidates are wearing bulletproof vests and using armored vehicles while campaigning. Local armored vehicle manufacturers report that candidates are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars for protection, highlighting the growing violence issue in Mexico, with regular families also beginning to purchase armored vehicles for self-defense.
