A man disappears in Punto Valle after a mysterious argument

Three groups of taxi drivers that operate at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) refused to apply discounts of up to 18% on their rates during the World Cup. The measure contradicts previous agreements announced by airport authorities and part of the union.

The companies Nueva Imagen, Porto Taxi and Sitio 300 issued a statement to clarify their position. They argued that they have no contractual relationship with the Grupo Aeroportuario Marina (GAM), the entity that promoted the benefits for airport users.

According to permit holders, the announced discounts do not represent a direct reduction in rates. They are, they say, adjustments derived from compensation for improper charges and administrative processes for maintenance work at the AICM.

They demand transparency

The taxi drivers asked the AICM authorities to make public the documents that support these measures. They also called on the GAM to make transparent the minutes and contracts where the application of discounts had been agreed upon. They questioned the legal validity of the obligations attributed to them.

The refusal could affect users who expected more affordable rates during the sporting event. Until now, there is no certainty about the real cost of service at the AICM during the World Cup.

Morena-PVEM Coalition for 2027?

The state leadership of Morena in San Luis Potosí left open the possibility of an alliance with the Green Ecologist Party (PVEM) for the local elections of 2027. The condition: that the PVEM present a different profile from that of Senator Ruth González.

Rita Ozalia Rodríguez Velázquez, state president of Morena, explained that if the PVEM discards Ruth González—wife of Governor Ricardo Gallardo—the green party could lead the coalition, which would also integrate the Labor Party (PT).

The leader clarified that the relationship with the PVEM at the local level does not face a conflict, although she admitted that there is no direct communication between both state leaders. Decisions about alliances, he said, are made by national leaders.

The possible agreement arises in the midst of the debate about nepotism, after Ruth González’s intention to succeed her husband in the state government was questioned. Morena looks for profiles that avoid that controversy.

Rodríguez Velázquez stressed that there is coordination between the party leadership to define the electoral strategy. For now, the panorama in San Luis Potosí remains open.

Morena questions the impartiality of the INE

The national leader of Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, pointed out that within the INE there are advisors with critical positions towards her party. He described them as “Morena haters” during a press conference where he addressed recent resolutions on duplicate affiliations.

Montiel affirmed that his party abides by the determinations of the Electoral Court. The authority ordered the elimination of more than 93 thousand affiliate records and leave under review about 19 thousand cases that the INE must verify.

The leader demanded that the institute adhere to the resolutions of the General Council and not to individual opinions. He accused that there are figures close to past electoral administrations who maintain a critical stance towards the movement.

Regarding the affiliation system, Montiel defended that Morena’s application is efficient. He assured that it surpasses that of the INE in functionality, since it allows duplications in the records to be detected.

He also proposed that the INE should have real-time verification mechanisms to cross-check affiliation data. However, he acknowledged that there are different processes between parties and the electoral authority.
