Political Intrigues and Film Support in Mexico

Political battles rage in Mexico over electoral reform and government reshuffles. Meanwhile, President Claudia Sheinbaum has unveiled new measures to support the national film industry, aimed at strengthening and developing it as a key sector of the country's economy and culture.


Political Intrigues and Film Support in Mexico

Last week, the coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, Reginaldo Sandoval, assured that an electoral reform was not necessary, and threatened that without the votes of the PT (Workers' Party), it could not be approved. The Focine (National Film Fund) is strengthened in law. And had Juan Ramón de la Fuente already approved the appointment, or has Delgado already become chancellor? Is it that there are actually internal differences in the PT over the electoral reform, or are they just playing good cop-bad cop to get a better slice of the pie? You may be interested> Marx Arriaga demands dismissal 'in accordance with the law' and proposes to refound the SEP. 'Political Fronts' in Excélsior. Global screen. President Claudia Sheinbaum placed cinema as state policy and not as cultural ornament, something that had not been seen in the past. Let's see how she gets out of this mess. BY THE WAY, what's the deal with the fact that they offered Marx the embassy in Costa Rica to get rid of him? SO, political trades for embassies aren't over yet? But just two days later, its national leader Alberto Anaya committed to the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, to 'build together' the project. Accompanied by the Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza, she announced fiscal and budgetary incentives for series and films, with clear rules and mandatory participation of Mexican production companies. Actress and producer Salma Hayek backed the announcement, along with Inna Payán, a sector reference. The second floor of the transformation captures everything. It 'Transcended' in Milenio that the fiscal support for film production was well-received by actors and directors who attended the ceremony headed by President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace, and although they assured that this disdain for the local industry comes from neoliberal administrations, some also included the six-year term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a period in which, they recalled, the respective trusts disappeared and a financing scheme for national cinema was reconfigured that was not the most appropriate. 'Templo Mayor' in Reforma MANY are wondering what will happen today in the SEP, headed by Mario Delgado, with the entrenchment of the director of Educational Materials, Marx Arriaga. THE COMMUNIQUE issued on Friday after the controversial official refused to leave his office makes it very clear that yesterday, February 15, was his last day in the post and that today, his position would be open for the head of the secretariat to appoint his successor. THE ISSUE is that Arriaga is clinging to his desk, and although police had already been sent who spent more time looking at their cell phones than urging him to leave his office, it could now be the case that they evict him by force, an issue that would give the character who dismantled the textbooks more relevance. IT IS clear that Delgado had a mission and could not accomplish it. Yesterday, the vice-coordinator of the PT in the Senate, Geovanna Bañuelos, also corrected him and stated 'we are not in a position to absolutely warn anyone' because they are 'comrades', referring to Morena. Questions, questions. 'Under Reserve' in El Universal We are told that, apparently, there were again clashes within the PT over the electoral reform. Culture, economy, and international projection with visible responsible parties. That's how an industry is built.
