On June 1st, the dreaded tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on Mexican products came into effect, despite the efforts of Claudia Sheinbaum's government to avoid them. Amid this uncertainty, Mexico City faced an unprecedented day of violence. The Secretariat of Citizen Security, led by Pablo Vázquez, responded promptly and firmly to these events.
In the Senate, the division in the President's party became evident, with her detractors making their presence known. Economically, the Mexican peso continued to weaken against the dollar, exceeding 21 per unit. The implementation of the tariffs will accelerate the process of economic recession that was already underway, raising concerns in the financial markets.
In another area, it is expected that on Tuesday, Mexico's legal team will have its first public hearing in the Supreme Court of the United States, in the context of a lawsuit filed against eight arms manufacturing companies. On the other hand, in the Chamber of Deputies, there was a discussion about the application of reforms, highlighting the issue of the prohibition of nepotism proposed by Sheinbaum.
Despite the challenges, the ability to react and inter-institutional coordination in the face of crisis situations is noteworthy, demonstrating an effective operational strategy in the Mexican capital. Meanwhile, in the political and economic arena, the tensions and repercussions of decisions made at national and international levels continue to shape the country's agenda.
