An urgent meeting between Cordero, Urzúa, and Moctezuma

The most recent episode is Michoacán , which has dramatic consequences for the local and national economy, where the CNTE teachers clocked the railroad tracks for three weeks. Nevertheless, the Interior Ministry hasn't ignored the situation and the Interior Minister, Olga Sánchez Cordero , met with the Finance Minister, Carlos Urzúa , and the Education Minister, Esteban Moctezuma , in order to analyze the education budget allocated to the states. They are looking to solve a problem that could worsen.
Pérez Dayán, Zacatecas' hero
We've been told that some people in the Zacatecas government would like to make a bronze statue of the Supreme Court minister, Alberto Pérez Dayán but not because he was born in this state, he's actually from Mexico City , but because he saved the state's most important income source: the ecology tax. Pérez Dayán asked to and achieved the deletion of a paragraph in a bill that left the most polluting industries out of the tax: chemical, oil, petrochemistry, asbestos , and cement industries . He saved millions for Zacatecas .
