Is the President being indulgent?
We've been told that now that President López Obrador is being very indulgent with teachers, yesterday the Guerrero Governor, Héctor Astudillo , sent the President a request for the Finance Ministry to provide the resources to pay the salaries of some teachers . Astudillo took advantage of the President 's visit to give him the document, who said it was viable and that he would solve the issue soon. Astudillo saw a chance and he took advantage of it.
Medicine shortage at the ISSSTE
Commemorating the World Health Day yesterday was no easy task for Luis Antonio Ramírez Pineda , the head of the ISSSTE because, although he committed to ending corruption in the institute and improving the attention provided to the beneficiaries and a better medicine supply, four months after taking office, the medicine supply went from bad to worse. We've been told that in communities in Veracruz, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Sinaloa , and Mexico City , the shortage of medicines is “worrying” and not only in the case of medicines to treat HIV but also in the case of medicines for diabetes patients. Is Ramírez Pineda up to the challenge?
The CNTE wants things done its way
The 5th Extraordinary Congress of the National Coordination of Education Workers (CNTE) ends today, where all the representatives, delegates, and leaders met. Later today, at the end of the meeting, the teachers will have determined an action plan against the so-called “ill-named education reform of Andrés Manuel López Obrador ,” the strategy they will use to negotiate with the Education Ministry, and the democratization of the Mexican National Educational Workers Union (SNTE) . Basically, today the teachers will decide what is going to be their strategy to strengthen their national influence , fight for the leadership of the bilateral relationship with the SNTE in the face of the new labor reform promoted by the federal government , as well as the actions it will implement to prevent the approval of the new education reform if it doesn't include their demands, and what will be the deadline for the government to listen to their demands. It's going to be along day for the CNTE .
The labor reform is a priority
We've been told that the Presidency is very interested in the labor reform required to sign the USMCA with the United States and Canad a. We've been told that the President's office and Mario Delgado , Morena's coordinator in the lower chamber , already have a strategy to negotiate with all the political forces but mainly with the PRI because some of the union leaders , who are also PRI members , have expressed their disagreement with some parts of the reform, which the federal government wants to be approved as soon as possible, otherwise, the USMCA would be at risk. We will have to see what is the PRI going to ask for in exchange for their support.
