Accident in Hualahuises leaves 11 dead and 17 injured

A tragic road accident occurred in the early hours of the morning in the municipality of Hualahuises, Nuevo León, when a passenger bus overturned at kilometer 169 of the National Highway, near the La Laja Congregation. The incident left a preliminary toll of 11 people dead and 17 injured, according to reports from local authorities.

Details of the incident and emergency response

The incident occurred at approximately 3:40 hours, when the transport unit, which had recently left the municipality of Escobedo bound for Tampico, Tamaulipas, lost control on a curve. Unofficial witnesses indicated that the driver would have climbed the median before falling into the opposite lane, which had a drop of almost one meter, causing the weight of the vehicle to cause it to overturn sideways.

Teams from State Civil Protection and paramedics from the Red Cross arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Among the deceased, victims were found trapped under the structure of the bus. Although the authorities have not confirmed identities, unofficial sources indicated that two of the deceased were minors, and the majority resided in the Colonia Villas de San Francisco, in Escobedo.

Road closure and care for injured people

Due to the rescue efforts and the magnitude of the accident, the National Highway was closed in both directions, affecting traffic in the area. The injured were treated at the scene and taken to nearby hospitals, some in critical condition. The exact causes of the accident are still under investigation, although it is suspected that factors such as speed, road conditions or driver fatigue could have played a role.

This unfortunate event adds to a series of road incidents on Mexican roads, where lack of vehicle maintenance, human errors and deficiencies in infrastructure are usually recurring factors. Road safety organizations have insisted on the need to reinforce inspection protocols for public transport units and improve the design of dangerous sections.

The republication of an old interview attributed to Carlos Monsiváis climbed to the center of the Mexican political debate this Wednesday. The issue was discussed both in the Senate and in President Claudia Sheinbaum’s morning conference.

The original text was written by journalist Edmundo Cázares in 1999 and recently republished by El Universal. It contains statements about the then head of Government Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Its veracity and context have been questioned, generating conflicting positions.

Sheinbaum describes the content as “grotesque”

During her conference, the president harshly criticized the publication. He described the content as “grotesque” and accused the medium of generating a controversy that distorts the tribute to the Mexican intellectual.

Reactions in the Senate

The issue also reached Congress. Senator Lilly Téllez read fragments of the text on the platform. In response, Gerardo Fernández Noroña rejected its use and maintained that it was a false publication with the intention of political attack.

The exchange reflects the polarization around the figure of López Obrador and the use of historical documents as partisan weapons.

The national leadership of the PRI demanded that the Mexican State intervene urgently in response to the complaint by inhabitants of the Guajes de Ayala ejido, in Coyuca de Catalán, Guerrero. The residents reported the incursion of armed civilians into their community in the Sierra.

Call for safety

Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, president of the party, asked the authorities to guarantee the safety of the families. He warned that these events should not be normalized due to the risk they represent for the civilian population.

The leader pointed out that in various communities in Guerrero they live under siege by armed groups. This has caused displacement, confinement of inhabitants and a constant climate of fear and uncertainty. He considered an immediate response from the State necessary.

Moreno Cárdenas also criticized the federal government for minimizing the situation of violence in the country. He affirmed that the population faces conditions of insecurity that require priority attention to restore the rule of law in the region.

Inflation in Mexico slows down and remains at Banxico’s goal

Inflation drops to 3.55% in the first half of June, within Banxico's target range.

Inflation in Mexico continues to decline. According to Inegi, it stood at 3.55% annually during the first half of June. This represents a drop of 0.11 percentage points compared to the second half of May.

With three consecutive months of deceleration, the indicator remains within Banxico’s target range (3% plus/minus one point). This level is key for purchasing power.

Pressures on core inflation

However, pressures remain. Core inflation—which reflects medium and long-term trends—was at 4.12%, with a biweekly increase of 0.19 points. Within this category, merchandise rose 3.65% annually and services, 4.57%.

Non-core inflation and seasonality

In contrast, non-core inflation slowed to 1.61% annually, driven by the drop in agricultural prices. Products such as tomatoes, eggs and poblano peppers recorded significant decreases.

The report also reflected seasonal movements in tourist services, related to the summer and the Soccer World Cup. Air transportation, hotels and tour packages increased. Despite this, analysts foresee a favorable trend towards the end of the year.
