Family of missing engineer in Sinaloa asks for President Sheinbaum's intervention. The family of Pablo Osorio Sánchez, a 26-year-old civil engineer from Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, requested President Claudia Sheinbaum's help to find him alive after his disappearance on January 23 in the municipality of La Concordia, Sinaloa. His mother, Socorro Osorio, and brother, Mauricio Osorio, detailed in 'Aristegui en Vivo' that Pablo, of indigenous Mixtec origin, is a graduate of the Technological Institute of Tlaxiaco. However, his mother warned that the last communication with her son occurred the morning of Friday, January 23. 'First he spoke to me in the morning, it would have been around six, and then he spoke to his girlfriend who was waiting for a car, and after that, he didn't say anything else; she only heard if they could arrange it and heard a car, and that was it,' narrated Socorro Osorio. Mexico spends 189 million pesos on books for the Cuban education system. Journalist Verónica Ayala, from Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCC), addressed a journalistic investigation that reveals a government contract from Claudia Sheinbaum to print 7 million books for the Cuban education system, at a cost of over 189 million pesos. She noted that by the end of November, the first two shipments, totaling more than four million books, had already been sent. She considered it an 'atypical meeting' that leaves many questions open, given the little information known about it. U.S. Defense Strategy places the Gulf of Mexico as a key territory. Beata Wojna, former Ambassador of Poland to Mexico, addressed the inclusion of the Gulf of Mexico in the United States National Defense Strategy. She highlighted the importance of this document, which derives from the National Security Strategy presented in December and that 'translates Trump's mandates on national security into a sphere of military action.' The former diplomat stated that the central novelty is that the Gulf of Mexico, referred to in the document as the Gulf of America, appears explicitly as a key space. According to Wojna, the strategy establishes that the U.S. Department of War will guarantee military and commercial access to these territories and will seek the cooperation of partner countries to contribute to U.S. interests. Mayor's house shot at in Veracruz. Journalist Sarah Landa reported from Veracruz on the shooting at the home of the mayor of Banderilla, the PAN member José Antonio San Gabriel Fernández. She detailed that a gray car parked in front of the house and shots were fired from there, although many details of the incident are not yet known. She also pointed out that Governor Rocío Nahle recognized the state's insecurity situation, which is why the deployment of elements of the National Guard (GN) was reinforced in recent days. Political crisis in Campeche. Campeche faces a high-tension political scenario after the fracture of the Morena party's bench in the local Congress and the delivery of the Board of Directors to the Citizen Movement. Journalist Abraham Martínez from Campeche described the current context as a 'critical, economic, and political moment.' The crisis exploded last weekend when, at the start of the second period of sessions of the second legislative year, the internal rupture in Morena was formalized, a conflict that, according to Martínez, had been brewing since December, with the approval of the state budget with a debt of one billion pesos. This episode, he explained, marked a breaking point within the ruling party. In this context, local deputies reactivated the constitutional fuero during a closed-door session held on Sunday, under the argument of alleged political pressure. Mumps outbreak in Mexico. Dr. Mauricio Rodríguez, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and spokesperson for the UNAM Epidemiological Risks Program, spoke about the mumps outbreak in Mexico. He explained that the episode began with cases linked to an unvaccinated community in Chihuahua, following outbreaks associated with Texas and Canada, and that the virus has been present in all 32 states, with a recent increase in infections in Jalisco and Chiapas. The specialist detailed the logic of prioritized vaccination (from 6 months to 49 years) and why, in general, people over 50 years of age usually have protective levels due to their epidemiological history. He also referred to the 26 deaths reported in the country; described the symptoms, the contagion window, and measures to reduce transmission (masks, ventilation, and hand hygiene).
