Government boasts reduction in homicides in Colima as success

Stolen cargo recovered in Santa María Chiconautla

Elements of the Metropolitan Police and the Secretary of the Navy recovered a tractor-trailer box with merchandise valued at 3 million pesos.

The vehicle was located in Santa María Chiconautla, municipality of Ecatepec, after an alert from the Command Center.

The uniformed officers were carrying out prevention patrols when they received a report of a white dry box vehicle that had been stolen.

While driving along Las Torres Avenue, they found the truck parked incorrectly and apparently abandoned. They verified the plates with the Command Center, which confirmed a current theft report with a pre-report.

They requested a crane to move the vehicle, which was transporting approximately 18 tons of sugar, with an estimated value of 3 million pesos. The cargo was placed at the disposal of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes against Cargo Transportation.

To date, no arrests have been reported for this incident.

Rains collapse roads in Aguascalientes

On Saturday night and early Sunday morning, intense rains affected Aguascalientes, Jesús María and Rincón de Romo. Boulevards and avenues were flooded, vehicles were covered in water and entire families were trapped.

Rescues and attention to the population

The greatest impact occurred in the capital. Firefighters and Civil Protection worked for hours to rescue people stranded in different parts of the metropolitan area. They provided assistance to occupants of cars stuck in neighborhoods such as Parques Industrial del Valle, San Francisco de los Romo, the first ring overpass and the exit to Zacatecas.

The overflowing of some channels concentrated the water in the avenues. The State Government reported that security corporations from several municipalities maintain a coordinated operation to provide timely support.

Recommendations and road closures

During the early morning, the authorities asked to avoid driving through flooded areas and to follow official information. The Municipal Public Security Secretariat detailed that the Road Police attended to 42 stranded vehicles and carried out 18 road closures to prevent risks to drivers and pedestrians.

Municipal agents moved entire families, women and minors who could not move due to the storm and flooding to their homes.

End of the CNTE sit-in

The National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) ended its national strike this Saturday. For 20 days, the mobilizations and the camp in the Historic Center of Mexico City generated losses of more than 410 million pesos to established businesses, according to sector estimates.

Although it did not achieve the repeal of the ISSSTE Law of 2007 or the repeal of the educational reform, the CNTE obtained commitments, financial resources, places, recategorizations and support for education workers in several states.

The leaders assured that the withdrawal is not a defeat. They advanced a stage of reorganization to strengthen the movement and prepare new actions. They insisted that the federal government did not present a proposal to eliminate the ISSSTE Law of 2007 or to reverse the educational reform, demands that will remain in force.

Starting this Monday, around 1.4 million students who remained without classes will be able to return to classrooms in the entities where the CNTE had suspended activities.

Space release

Public space has been gradually freed up. Cleaning workers from the Government of Mexico City removed garbage in streets such as 5 de Mayo, Belisario Domínguez, 20 de Noviembre and República de Cuba. In some areas, the withdrawal was almost total; In others there were still tarps and tents.

A teacher from section 34 of Zacatecas declared: > “We are going to clean it, don’t say that we are going to leave it dirty.”

Merchants expressed relief at the departure of the teaching profession. A worker at the La Blanca restaurant, on May 5, commented: > “It’s good that they’re leaving, it was a very hard month; here we had like a 90% drop in customers.”

A snow seller on the same street indicated that they expected higher sales with the FIFA Fan Fest in the Zócalo, but the arrival of the CNTE reduced their income by 50%.

For his part, the Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, rejected that the government had “bribed” Section 22 of Oaxaca to hold the sit-in.
