A sad day for ISSSTE workers
Those who won't enjoy the “ Buen Fin ,” Mexico's version of Black Friday , are the ISSSTE workers. They complained that in contrast with other government employees who work in the health sector and who will receive their Christmas bonus today and tomorrow, they won't and therefore, they won't be able to shop during the sales . We've been told that the ISSSTE workers will receive their Christmas bonus until December 9 and the second part won't be paid until January 9. So the ISSSTE workers are sad and upset because they also won't have money to purchase gifts for the Three Magic Kings Day on January 6. Their Christmas will be austere .
Alliance between Morena, Partido Verde, and PRI
On Tuesday, Rosario Piedra was sworn in as the president of the National Human Rights Commission ( CNDH ) thanks to three political parties, despite fraud claims by the opposition . We've been told that Manuel Velasco , Partido Verde , and Ricardo Monreal , Morena , had a plan B. After they were unable to get the 79 votes they needed, they convinced the opposition to launch a third voting process but once the PAN relaxed, they took Rosario Piedra Ibarra to the stage and she was sworn in. In the meantime, the PRI voted against a third voting session so the PAN was helpless while the human rights activist was appointed to the CNDH.
