Sheinbaum explains Marx Arriaga's departure from the SEP. During her Monday morning press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Marx Arriaga's departure from the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) was due to a 'disagreement' related to the modification of textbooks. Sheinbaum questioned the book's impact, despite acknowledging its presence on social networks. However, she clarified that 'there was never a police officer who did anything against him, let alone more so.' Regarding accusations that Arriaga was seeking payments for positions at the SEP, Sheinbaum affirmed she has no knowledge of it, indicating the focus is on advancing with the books and incorporating new topics. She emphasized that 'textbooks are not the property of one person' and that the transformation movement always seeks to improve and update itself. Among the proposed modifications, Sheinbaum mentioned the inclusion of women in history. The president also indicated that Arriaga was offered 'other options' within the government, including the possibility of a consulate position. In case of non-compliance or failure to adapt to Mexican regulations, these platforms could be subject to a procedure for legal infringement. In the case of Hello Ticket, a representation address within the national territory was identified, and this week a physical notification of the start of the procedure will be made. The Profeco also indicated that this week new guidelines for the regulation of concerts will be published. Sheinbaum explained that Arriaga was not in agreement with making any modifications to the textbooks, despite them being considered 'perfectible' and teachers having requested guides for their use. Despite the disagreement, Sheinbaum 'greatly' valued Marx Arriaga's work in the creation and defense of the textbooks, describing it as 'extraordinary.' 'If he has a complaint, then he should file it, right?' the head of state pointed out. Laura Velázquez Alzúa, national coordinator of Civil Protection, announced this Monday that a regional drill will be held next Wednesday, February 18, at 11 in the morning, in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. She noted that 13,900 speakers will be used in both entities. Regarding the notification to ticket resale platforms, Escalante highlighted that they have had formal communication with StubHub and Viagogo, who are now formally notified of the exhortation to comply with regulations. He stressed the importance of being consistent, as they are not in their position out of power or imposed by anyone other than the people, and their goal is to transform. The head of Profeco, Iván Escalante, gave an update this Monday on the BTS case, highlighting the legal infringement procedure against Ticketmaster and the actions taken regarding ticket resale platforms. Escalante informed that on February 11, Ticketmaster responded to the notification it received, and the company has until February 17 to present its arguments. After this period, Profeco has 15 business days to issue an administrative resolution, which includes the imposition of a fine. Regarding the book by Julio Scherer, Sheinbaum stated this Monday that 'I have not read it nor am I going to read it.'
