The new administration vs. banks
Although it all seems to be fine between President López Obrador and banks , we will see how banks react to a new program to lower the bank commissions charged by banks to the Mexican migrants in the U.S. , who usually send money to their families in Mexico . We've been told that the President will strengthen Bansefi , a state-owned bank, by opening more branches so that remittance collection is easier. Although the program had been previously announced, the impact hadn't been seen yet, but that will change soon. So if banks don't lower the commissions , the government will take over.
The Sedena needs to pay more attention
We've been told that the National Defense Ministry should update its website. In its official website, it doesn't have a picture of General Luis Crescencio Sandoval , the Minister. Also, when you click on the Twitter symbol, it redirects you to Salvador Cienfuegos' Twitter account , the former Minister. What is going on?
The daylight savings time is coming to an end
Morena senator Félix Salgado
is proposing a bill to repeal Daylight savings . We've been told that everything seems to be in favor of this new idea, as Morena has the majority in the lower chamber, which is required to reform laws. Also when President López Obrador was Mexico City's mayor , he lost a constitutional controversy against the Supreme Court, where he complained about the daylight savings . Therefore, there is no reason to think the proposal will be rejected.
He protested for 5 years until he was repressed
If you arrive at the Public Affairs Ministry , you will notice someone is missing: the man who lived outside the office for five years, as he claimed someone stole his patent. Javier Escamilla , who installed a cardboard house outside the building, is no longer living there. In the Public Affairs Ministry , they not only fired dozens of employees, but they also got rid of protesters , as we were told Escamilla was forced to leave over the weekend. Didn't the new government say it wouldn't use repression ?
