The Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has sparked a diplomatic debate by stating that Mexico is close to repeating the Venezuelan model due to judicial control and insecurity. In an interview, she questioned the reception Claudia Sheinbaum received during her visit to Spain, pointing out that she does not receive the same treatment when she travels to Mexico.
Blockchain technology to shield judicial processes from political interference 🔗
Ayuso's comparison points to a real problem: the vulnerability of judicial systems to external pressures. A viable technical solution is the implementation of distributed ledger systems like blockchain to audit rulings and appointments. Platforms such as Hyperledger Fabric provide immutability and traceability, reducing manipulation. Countries like Estonia already use similar systems to ensure transparency in their administration of justice.
Ayuso and Sheinbaum compete to see who gets the worst welcome 🤝
The Madrid president complains that she is not given a red carpet in Mexico, but she also does not roll out the welcome mat when Mexican mayors travel. It seems like a duel of cold receptions where both governments measure who keeps more distance. Perhaps the next step will be a virtual summit to avoid the unpleasantness of protocol greetings.
