SUMMARY
#Honestidad y Resultados: The President Tours the Country
President Claudia Sheinbaum resumes her tour and will visit Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Campeche, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, and Hidalgo. A government that is present on the ground, accessible, and accountable.
Fewer bureaucratic hurdles, more ways to comply
More than 4.1 million taxpayers will benefit from simpler and digital red tape and paperwork procedures. For small businesses, income tax (ISR) can be paid every three months, and there will be an option to pay the 7% VAT directly.
Zero VAT rate: a boost for books and reading
Books will be subject to a zero VAT rate. The price for readers will not increase, and bookstores and publishers will be able to recover the VAT on their expenses. This measure provides a greater boost to publishers, bookstores, and access to reading.
PISA: More Young People in Classrooms, Less Inequality
The OECD acknowledges that more young people, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, are attending school. Furthermore, Mexico has a socioeconomic gap in science that is smaller than the OECD average.
Mexico Is No One’s Punching Bag
In response to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s statements, the President urged that Mexico not be used in the U.S. election campaign and reminded him that the United States must also combat drug use, money laundering, and arms trafficking. “Let’s respect one another; to each their own elections and their own territory.”
La Derecha Diario: There Are Shady Tactics in Play
Sheinbaum pointed out that the right-wing webpage La Derecha Diario was created to influence elections in Latin America through fake news, smear campaigns, and artificially amplifying the circulation of such materials on social media. She called for transparency regarding how it operates, who funds it, and what interests lie behind it.
