2139.1 Human Rights and Transparency

Freedom of Expression Index (RSF)

Does not meet

The criterion is not established.

Mexico is classified as “difficult” in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index, with a score of 45.23 out of 100 and a ranking of 122nd among 180 countries. The safety component is the weakest, at 31.35 out of 100.

Independent evidence concerning journalist killings, impunity, and weaknesses in the protection mechanism confirms that conditions for practicing journalism remain poor. The index specifically measures press freedom and journalist safety, not the entire field of freedom of expression.
