Government asks CNTE teachers to dialogue without violence

A group of trans and non-binary people held a day of protest this Friday inside the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) to press for a meeting with its head, Rosa Icela Rodríguez. Since Thursday, they remain in a room at the agency, in the Juárez neighborhood, Cuauhtémoc mayor’s office, Mexico City.

They demand concrete advances: a reform of articles 1 and 73 of the Constitution, a Comprehensive Trans Law and public policies in various agencies. Activist Victoria Sámano explained to EL UNIVERSAL that recommendation 42-2024 of the CNDH “has been half fulfilled.”

“They have only been simulation tables, tables to wear us down and they have not even been followed up,” he denounced.

As part of the protest, they held a “dissident sonidero” with the SoniTrans collective, where several couples danced to make their rights visible. They also called for a collection of food, batteries, blankets and presence.

The protest coincides with another CNTE demonstration. Sámano pointed out that they have already spoken with the teachers and criticized the government’s “omission” with different social groups: teachers, searching mothers and trans people.

“It is not about a single group, but about the deficiency and omission of this government,” he stated.

Faced with Segob’s initial refusal to schedule a direct meeting with the secretary, the protesters warned that they will not withdraw until they obtain one. “We’re staying here until they give us a meeting!” they concluded.

Atzalan, Veracruz. Between dirt roads, natural landscapes and great family coexistence, the 2026 edition of the traditional Citrus Route was successfully carried out, one of the most anticipated adventure events for all-terrain vehicle fans in the region.

From early in the morning, dozens of participants from various municipalities of Veracruz and neighboring states gathered to travel the routes designed by the organizers, crossing rural trails, forested areas and characteristic roads of this municipality located in the central mountainous area of the state. 

The activity brought together drivers of ATVs, ATVs and UTVs, who enjoyed a tour full of excitement, camaraderie and spectacular natural views. During the day, an atmosphere of family coexistence prevailed, strengthening the ties between lovers of motor sports and adventure tourism.

Participants highlighted the hospitality of the inhabitants of Atzalan and the beauty of the natural settings that the region offers, factors that have made the Citrus Route a benchmark for this type of events in Veracruz.

In addition to promoting recreation and sports, the activity represents an important economic benefit for service providers, local businesses and entrepreneurs, who benefit from the arrival of visitors during the development of the event.

Authorities and organizers agreed that the Citrus Route continues to consolidate itself as a platform to promote regional tourism, showing the state and the country the natural, cultural and gastronomic wealth of Atzalan.

With a large participation and white balance, the 2026 edition concluded, leaving a memorable experience for attendees and reaffirming its place as one of the most important off-road meetings in the Veracruz entity.

Suspension due to irregularities in hearing

The Judicial Disciplinary Court provisionally suspended a control judge. The judge modified without basis the preventive detention of a person subject to extradition.

According to the Disciplinary Commission, during a hearing intended to review whether this precautionary measure should be maintained or changed, the judge deviated from the objective. He asked the Public Ministry to propose new measures. He then determined that it was not appropriate to maintain justified preventive detention and replaced it with less restrictive ones.

The Commission noted that the hearing lost its original purpose: to analyze whether the measure should continue, be modified, or repealed in accordance with the law. He considered that the action could affect the procedure and raise doubts about legal certainty. For this reason, it decided on the provisional suspension as a precautionary measure.

The president of the Disciplinary Commission, Judge Rufino H. León Tovar, stated:

This body will act firmly when there are elements that call into question the correct actions of those who administer justice.

He added that judicial resolutions must consider their impact on people’s lives, on the protection of victims and on public confidence in the criminal justice system. The suspension does not resolve the substance of the matter; seeks to protect the investigation while determining whether there was irregularity.
