Mexican ingenuity in public transportation
The 2026 World Cup generates euphoria in Mexico as one of the tournament venues. In Acapulco, Guerrero, a public transportation operator decided to take the experience to another level.
He installed a screen on his bus so that passengers can enjoy the games during their trips to work or back home. The scene quickly went viral.
On the route, users followed the duel between Brazil and Morocco, which ended in a draw. The daily trip became a football celebration.
On social networks, comments applauded the gesture. Several users recalled FIFA’s restrictions on broadcasting matches in public spaces, but highlighted that Mexican ingenuity can overcome any limitations.

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) called for strengthening actions against sexual torture in Mexico. He considered it one of the most serious forms of violence and discrimination that especially affects people in vulnerable situations.
Call for institutional coordination
During a symposium on the topic, Rosario Piedra Ibarra, president of the CNDH, stressed the need to improve coordination between federal, state and municipal authorities. The objective: to prevent, investigate and punish these events effectively.
The organization recalled that, through the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture, it maintains permanent surveillance in centers of deprivation of liberty. Since 2021, it has issued reports with recommendations to improve institutional practices with a gender focus.
Equity of the problem
Representatives of state human rights organizations warned that sexual torture continues to be a current problem. It requires specialized attention, active prevention and mechanisms that avoid impunity to guarantee justice for the victims.
The CNDH pointed out that, although Mexican legislation does not establish different modalities of torture, international instruments such as the Istanbul Protocol recognize it as an especially serious practice. Therefore, it must be combated with specific measures.
He emphasized the importance of addressing this problem from a gender perspective. The victims are, for the most part, people in vulnerable situations. The proposed actions seek not only to punish those responsible, but also to prevent future cases and ensure access to justice.

No expiration date
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled that the crimes related to the fire at the ABC Daycare do not prescribe. The incident occurred in 2009 in Hermosillo, Sonora, and left 49 girls and boys dead.
The decision was made after analyzing an appeal from Sergio Antonio Salazar Salazar, former director of Economic and Social Benefits of the IMSS. He argued that the charges against him had already become invalid due to the passage of time. The highest court rejected that approach.
The Court noted that imprescriptibility seeks to avoid impunity, clarify the facts and guarantee comprehensive reparation for the victims. It also took into account the special protection that children and adolescents require.
The case will return to the corresponding Collegiate Court, which must apply the new criteria. The resolution opens a new chapter in one of the most sensitive human rights cases in Mexico.

Conversations without progress
The second round of dialogues prior to the review of the T-MEC concluded without concrete agreements. The meeting was held in Washington, according to the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard. The Mexican delegation presented proposals and points of view, but no agreements or additional details were released.
Topics addressed included rules of origin, economic security, agricultural sector and automotive industry. These issues are fundamental to the operation of the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada.
The formal review of the treaty will begin on July 1 with a virtual trilateral meeting. A third round of negotiations will take place on July 20. Everything occurs in a context of trade tensions, with tariffs imposed by the United States on various products.
Mexico and Canada have expressed interest in maintaining and extending the agreement. However, the doubts raised by US President Donald Trump generate uncertainty about the future of the USMCA.
