The president of the Bar Association, Patricia Gámez, has publicly accused certain factions within the organization of actively resisting updates to its governing statutes. Gámez alleges these groups oppose transparency and democratic processes within the association. She believes this resistance represents the biggest obstacle to modernizing the Bar Association’s internal regulations. The core of the dispute centers around proposed changes to the *Cang* – the association’s statutes – which opponents are reportedly blocking. Gámez’s statements suggest a significant internal power struggle regarding the future direction and governance of the Bar Association. She did not specify which sectors are involved, but framed their actions as detrimental to the association’s democratic function and openness. The lack of statute updates is hindering necessary reforms, according to the president.
