Mexico Responds to Vaccination Needs and Political Chaos

The president of the Instructora, Hugo Eric Flores, from Morena, explained that the entity is not delaying any process, but rather they have different criteria on what steps to follow. While some believe the process has already begun, others consider it necessary to make admission resolutions first. Due to lack of agreement during yesterday's session, the president commissioner, Adrián Alcalá, decided to take a recess to debate later.

The medical community welcomed the news that national vaccination weeks will be reinstated, as announced by the Secretary of Health, David Kershenobich. This is expected to be an important boost in the vaccination process, and there are hopes that there will be no excuses for not carrying it out. Doctors like Raúl Bolaños from the PVEM applauded the measure, while infectious disease specialist Alejandro Macías highlighted that these vaccination weeks are essential and should not have been abandoned.

The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the violence in Gaza and called for the respect of international humanitarian law, a ceasefire, and negotiations to achieve peace in the region. Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry expressed its rejection of the violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which has resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives. This is a worrying situation, and it is hoped that dialogue will be resumed to seek a peaceful solution.

On the other hand, former electoral advisor Adriana Favela submitted her resignation as technical secretary of Equality and Inclusion of the TEPJF, as she will participate as a candidate for magistrate of the Superior Chamber in the judicial election. This move comes at a time when measures are being taken to reinforce vaccination against diseases such as measles, especially in areas where imported cases have occurred.

Regarding the Instructora Section of the Lower Chamber, there are discrepancies among the deputies regarding the admission of a request for impeachment against deputy Cuauhtémoc Blanco and senator Alejandro Moreno. Germán Martínez expressed his concern about the effectiveness of the '4T' actions and whether concrete measures will really be carried out.

Finally, in the context of the 87th Anniversary of the Oil Expropriation, the presence of figures such as Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano and Ricardo Aldana was highlighted. Meanwhile, at the INAI, workers protested to obtain information about their labor future amid rumors of a possible extinction of the institution.
