Boris degrades himself; Cristina does not threaten Mexican coasts

Very heavy rains in Pacific states and the center of the country.

Remnants of Boris and Cristina under monitoring

The National Weather Service (SMN) reported that Storm Boris has weakened to a remaining low pressure. According to the report:

“Boris is located on land 75 km north-northwest of Punta Maldonado and 105 km east of Acapulco, Guerrero. It has maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h, gusts of 65 km/h and movement towards the northwest at 11 km/h.”

This system maintains the potential for heavy rain. Very heavy punctual rainfall (50 to 75 mm) is forecast in the south of Jalisco, Colima, the coast of Michoacán, southeast and east of Guerrero and west of Oaxaca. Heavy rains (25 to 50 mm) are also expected in the southwest of Puebla, State of Mexico, west and southwest of Mexico City and Morelos.

RelatedBoris becomes a tropical storm and threatens the Mexican Pacific

In parallel, the SMN monitors tropical storm Cristina. At the moment it does not represent a risk for Mexican coasts. It is located 160 km west-northwest of Managua, Nicaragua, and 540 km east-southeast of the mouth of the Suchiate River, border with Guatemala. Its maximum winds reach 65 km/h with gusts of 85 km/h and remains stationary.

Meteorological authorities recommend that the population stay informed about the evolution of both systems. The expected rains could cause waterlogging and flooding in low-lying areas.

Morena calls for a total recount in Colombia and supports Iván Cepeda

Morena questions the validity of the result in Colombia and demands a full recount of votes.

Rejection of the result and call for transparency

The Morena party expressed its disagreement with the result of the second presidential round in Colombia, where the conservative Abelardo de la Espriella was declared the winner. In a statement, the leadership of the Mexican ruling party expressed its support for the leftist candidate Iván Cepeda, whom it described as an honest profile and committed to progressive causes.

According to the statement, the Colombian electoral process was marked by accusations of a dirty war and pressure from external actors. Morena considered it “worrying” that the result was closed with a minimal difference. The reported advantage, less than 1% of the votes, forces – from their perspective – a total recount to guarantee certainty and transparency.

The party maintained that the legitimacy of the process must be based on the complete count of votes and respect for the popular will. In addition, he made reference to electoral history in Latin America to underline the importance of review mechanisms in closed elections. He called for avoiding narratives of early triumph without final scrutiny.

Solidarity with the Cepeda movement

Morena expressed his solidarity with Iván Cepeda and his political movement, and warned about the advance of right-wing forces in the region. He reiterated that, while the official counts are not concluded, absolute respect for the will of the Colombian people must prevail.

Merlin, the duck of the Cup, tours CDMX

The Peking duck with sandals and a Mexican shirt unleashes a tour of key venues in the capital.

An unexpected tour

The Merlin duck, a Peking breed, went viral after appearing at the 2026 World Cup celebrations. Its distinctive features: small sandals to protect its legs, a National Team shirt and an evident closeness to its family. That video prompted a series of visits that its owners, the Gómez family, documented on social networks.

The logs of these tours show that the bird went to emblematic places in the Mexican capital. At the National Palace, he entered the Treasury Room during the morning conference, where he caught the attention of the staff and attendees.

It also went through the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), where the family processed the official registration of the animal’s name to ensure exclusive commercial rights to its image.

Institutional recognition

Merlin visited the Netflix Mexico offices in Mexico City. Their presence generated digital interactions among the streaming platform’s workers. In addition, the ESPN and TV Deportes networks integrated it into their programming and special coverage around the tournament.

The Atlante Club, a local sports institution, incorporated it into its institutional activities and classified it as an amulet in promotional events.

The phenomenon reached the international level: FIFA granted official access to Merlín and his family to watch the Mexican National Team’s match against the Czech Republic from a box. Thus, the duck became an unexpected ambassador of the capital during the Cup.
