President Andrés Manuel López Obrador rejected any type of negotiation to achieve approval of the Judicial Reform. “That’s what was done in the period of corruption and authoritarianism […] Let it be in accordance with the Constitution and the law,” he said.
President López Obrador emphasized that the country’s economy is doing very well and an example of this is that his administration is the only one, since 1970, in which the peso has not been devalued. “Mexico is one of the countries in the world with healthy finances,” he stressed. As of July 1, the Mexican peso was still the most appreciated currency against the dollar.
In the first half of 2024, almost 2.53 trillion pesos (US$130.86 billion) in tax revenues were collected, a real 6.1% increase compared to the same period of 2023.
