Strategies to defend migrants
President Sheinbaum reported that a meeting of deputy ministers of Latin American foreign ministries was held on January 16 to design joint strategies in defense of migrants in the United States and to address the underlying causes of migration.
In addition, she announced that today the foreign ministers will hold a remote meeting to strengthen these agreements.
Beaches are for all: Sheinbaum
The President mentioned that interventions are being carried out on several beaches around the country to guarantee public access. She reiterated that beaches are property of the people and should not be privatized.
Meeting with SCJN justices
Minister of the Interior Rosa Icela Rodríguez reported on a meeting with Supreme Court (SCJN) justices in which the judicial branch trusts and the suspension of the judicial branch evaluation committees were addressed.
It was reiterated that the labor rights of the judicial branch employees and functionaries will not be affected.
The President charged that the SCJN continues to use its authority to prevent the judicial branch elections. She explained that there is no valid legal argument for the evaluation committee to have interrupted the electoral process.
The names of the persons selected to be candidates in the special election by the evaluation committees of the Executive and Legislative branches will be presented on January 31.
Constitutional reforms
Sheinbaum announced two proposals for constitutional reforms in electoral questions:
– A reform against nepotism and to prevent reelection, which will be presented in the next legislative period.
– A reform to decrease funding to political parties and reduce the costs of elections. (Regeneración, 17 de enero de 2025)
