The President and PAN governors quarrel over the Insabi
A week of negotiations between the federal government and PAN governors and their local Health Ministers in order for the state governments to join the Insabi have suddenly ended. We’ve been told that PAN governors had reached an initial agreement with Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez , the Health Undersecretary . Nevertheless, the governors were met with a warning from President López Obrador : they join the program or not as the PAN members argue that the President refused to recognize the initial agreement and basically told them that the government official doesn’t know much about politics .

Immigrants are at risk in Mexico
According to the federal government , the immigrants traveling through Mexico towards the U.S. border are exposed to all sorts of risks and at the mercy of criminals . A perfect example is an incident that took place yesterday in San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracru z, where a truck carrying migrants overturned , which resulted in one death and dozens of wounded people. We’ve been told that over 80 migrants were traveling in the truck. These types of tragedies take place when immigrants are allowed to enter Mexico without any restrictions, who are threatened by smugglers . Now, we’ve been told that it seems strange that human rights groups that are supposed to defend the rights of migrants condemn the measures implemented by migration authorities .

Pensions are Mexico’s biggest nightmare
As a result of electoral reasons , no political party presented any proposal in regard to pensions . Those who know about budgets and demographics warn that the retirement age has to increase to 65 or 68, however, this measure would affect any party in the 2021 elections .
