Within the framework of our Constitution, it is the self-determination of the peoples”.With information from EFE and Aristegui NewsWe, within the framework of our Constitution, must respond because it is not a personal decision.The morning press conference begins at the National Palace...President Claudia Sheinbaum headed this morning's press conference on Tuesday, January 27, from the National Palace, where she received the media in the company of members of the Health Cabinet.She was accompanied by Secretary of Health David Kershenobich, head of the ISSSTE Martí Batres, director general of the IMSS Zoé Robledo, director general of IMSS-Bienestar Alejandro Svarch, and Undersecretary of Health Eduardo Clark.Health plans new vaccination campaign against measlesSecretary of Health David Kershenobich informed during the morning press conference this Tuesday about the outbreaks of measles in the country.The official warned that the virus is highly contagious and emphasized the importance of vaccination, pointing to the possible opening of new vaccination centers in Mexico City and other entities.The new vaccination campaign is planned to be held at stations of the Mexico City Metro and at bus terminals, due to the high flow of people in these spaces.Kershenobich recalled that the resurgence of measles is an international phenomenon and not exclusive to Mexico.Sheinbaum compares salaries and benefits at the SCJNFrom the National Palace, President Claudia Sheinbaum presented a comparison of salaries and benefits at the Supreme Court before and after the judicial reform.She noted that prior to the reform, a minister received more than 206,000 pesos monthly, in addition to various benefits, including major medical expense insurance, support for food and medicines, as well as payments for risk and telephone service.Sheinbaum also mentioned benefits such as the purchase and reservation of tickets at stadiums, and joked in a light-hearted tone that with those benefits, the ministers “would have been able to attend the BTS concert”.Sheinbaum denies use of AI in Ryan Wedding photoPresident Claudia Sheinbaum, this Tuesday, expressed her confidence in the version conveyed by the United States that former Canadian Olympic athlete Ryan Wedding was arrested after voluntarily surrendering to the U.S. embassy in the Mexican capital and ruled out an operation by Washington on Mexican soil.“What the U.S. authorities told Mexican authorities is that it was a voluntary surrender (...) We have no reason to doubt either the ambassador or what they told us here in Mexico,” the head of state pointed out.Despite the fact that the director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kash Patel, referred to the existence of a bilateral operation, Sheinbaum stated that they “do not consider” that an intervention occurred to arrest the former Canadian athlete accused of crimes related to drug trafficking, since she added, “they are obliged to inform what they do here in Mexico”.Asked about Patel's statements, she said she does not want to “get into the matter” to avoid it becoming a “controversy” between the two countries, although she assured that her Government “always tells the truth”.Furthermore, she stressed that both U.S. authorities and the ambassador in the country, Ronald Johnson, had conveyed to them that he had surrendered voluntarily last Thursday, so they have no reason to doubt their version.Mexico “analyzes” Donald Trump's invitation to join the Peace CouncilClaudia Sheinbaum confirmed this Tuesday that her Government received an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump for the country to join his so-called Peace Council, although she stressed that the response is under analysis due to Mexico's historical stance in foreign policy and its recognition of the Palestinian state.“Yes, we received the invitation from President Trump and the response we gave is that the Secretariat of Foreign Relations (SRE) had to analyze it and it has to do with this decision (that) Mexico is a country that has recognized Palestine as a nation”.Last week, Trump signed the constituent act of his Peace Council at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland), an body conceived initially to oversee his peace plan for Gaza and which he now wants to expand to other global conflicts.Sheinbaum explained that the decision to join the body created by Trump cannot be made unilaterally and must adhere to the constitutional principles of Mexican foreign policy, including respect for the self-determination of peoples.Additionally, she emphasized that the recognition of the Palestinian state is a central element in evaluating the U.S. president's invitation.“The recognition of Palestine as a state is very important”.
