Lawmakers will fulfill the President’s dream
Everything is ready for lawmakers to start working to fulfill one of President López Obrador ’s dream and the central promise of his government. It’s expected that commissions in Congress will approve a reform to include welfare programs to the Constitution , including health services , pensions , scholarships , and aid for disabled people. Nevertheless, we’ve been told that something happened to this initiative, as people forgot to include that health care should be free. We’ve been told that the bill will have to be modified. Additionally, we’ve been told that the approval of the reform will take place soon since Morena and its allies control the l ower chamber . However, the President’s dream is complicated welfare programs would cost MXN $543,478 million.

In the initiative proposed by Javier Laynez Potisek , the store could continue to sell the e-cigarettes but it will have to face another legal challenge since President López Obrador issued a decree to ban the importation of electronic cigarettes ; therefore, the future of these devices is up in the air.
