    Independence of the judiciary? Gone, abolished by the last major legislation of his presidency. Judges will now be elected by partisan ballots. Independent election administration? Crippled. Nonpartisan enforcement of government-transparency rules, nonpartisan antitrust enforcement, nonpartisan telecommunications regulation, nonpartisan energy regulation? Abolished, abolished, abolished, and abolished. Only the central bank, after a long struggle, will retain its autonomy from direct presidential control.

    *It has links to these claims that I won’t bother to replicate

    Notice how a lot of what they are talking about are offices being put up for election, and sometimes they even say as much, but then at the end they say “Only the central bank . . . will retain its autonomy from direct presidential control.” even though that is not at all what they established was being taken from the other offices.
