Shaking hands with El Chapo’s mother still haunts the President
President López Obrador r
ecently resumed his trips. On a trip to Xalapa, Veracruz, he was confronted by a group of people whose loved ones have gone missing , who asked him to talk to them and listen to their cases but when the request was declined, people reminded him that he did stop to talk to Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s mother but not to them. Some women eve hit the vehicle in hopes of getting attention from the President but were removed by members of his team. It seems like López Obrador will always be reminded about his handshake with El Chapo’s mother.

The opposition fights back
We’ve been told that during a meeting between senators and the CCE , senator Samuel García said there is no “political will” to implement an extraordinary period in Congress because Morena refuses to discuss the issue proposed by the opposition and the opposition refuses to vote in favor of the extraordinary period if their agenda is not included. So, if Morena leader Ricardo Monreal thought he could insist on calling for a session next week and then ask for an extraordinary period, he will have to make a good offer.

The CNDH violates its workers’ rights
It seems like the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) doesn’t care about the human rights of its collaborators. We’ve been told that de Lázaro Elías Serranía Álvarez , the Deputy Communication Director, has been working at the CNDH for 19 years but it suddenly stopped paying him his salary . When the situation became public, Alejandra Ezeta said she decided to temporarily remove him from his position. However, Serrano was only informed about the decision on June 15. Will Rosario Piedra do something about it?
