The recognition of "International Ambassador of Peace" awarded to Juan Pablo Penilla Rodríguez, lawyer of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, sparked controversy in San Lázaro, with various political actors distancing themselves from the situation. Meanwhile, Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez, Veracruz senator, received applause and praise from official-leaning members of commissions in Congress for his support of secondary energy laws.

The governor of Oaxaca, Alejandro Murat, criticized his successor for claiming he has been treated improperly in Morena. On the other hand, the Senate is seeking to expedite the approval of presidential priorities, especially the reform proposed by Claudia Sheinbaum to prevent foreign interventions.

The president of the Political Coordination Board of the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Monreal, acknowledged that progress in the approval of 73 laws is slow and indicated that they may need an extraordinary period if they cannot advance satisfactorily. Additionally, he dispelled rumors about the health of former Supreme Court minister Arturo Zaldívar, who stated he is in good health and working normally.

Amid criticisms and political discussions, the urgency to advance in the approval of laws and reforms is highlighted, as well as the need to clarify misunderstandings and rumors circulating on social media.
