Guanajuato reinforces security in sports leagues after attacks

Governor asks to investigate links between organizers and organized crime after attack in Salamanca.

Measures against criminal infiltration

The State Security Council of Guanajuato addressed the possible infiltration of organized crime in amateur soccer and baseball leagues. This occurs after the violent attacks recorded in 2026 in sports fields in Celaya, Irapuato and Salamanca. In the Loma de Flores community, eleven young people were killed and twelve people were injured.

Libyan Governor Denisse García Muñoz Ledo reported that the mayors were alerted about the spaces that require greater surveillance. Administrative and security measures will be implemented to prohibit the sale of alcohol and drug consumption in these places.

“There have already been incidents in these types of places, the sale of alcohol cannot be allowed, much less the consumption of drugs,” he declared.

On February 18, members of organized crime broke into the Loma de Flores soccer fields and fired long weapons at spectators, players and private security personnel.

The president explained that there has been dialogue with the mayors to make the critical points visible. He called to maintain these spaces as places of family coexistence and to investigate any link between league organizers and crime.

Sentence for minor case

On another topic, García Muñoz Ledo celebrated the sentence of 113 years, 4 months and 15 days in prison against Christian Augusto Jafet. He was found guilty of forced disappearance, sexual assault and homicide of a child under 12 years of age in León.

“Today we celebrate that there is justice for the family, a sentence that represents a historic advance and a clear message: in Guanajuato there will be no impunity, much less when it comes to an attack on a minor,” he stated.

Mexico and PAHO/WHO sign health strategy 2026-2030

Mexico and PAHO/WHO sign agreement to strengthen the health system and reduce the burden of diseases.

Bilateral agreement to strengthen the health system

The Government of Mexico, through the Ministry of Health, and the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) signed the Country Cooperation Strategy 2026-2030. The goal: strengthen the national health system and reduce the burden of disease.

The agreement includes priority actions to address non-communicable diseases, cancer and mental health disorders. It also promotes prevention strategies and timely care throughout the population’s life course.

In addition, it seeks to strengthen the stewardship of the Ministry of Health and the coordination between the institutions of the National Health System. The goal is to move towards a model of universal access to quality medical services.

Among the central axes are the strengthening of the capacity to respond to health emergencies, the promotion of health self-sufficiency and the strengthening of the national regulatory authority.

Health Secretary David Kershenobich said:

The strategy will allow national priorities to be aligned with the technical experience of PAHO/WHO, which will contribute to expanding access to health services, with emphasis on prevention, primary care and universal coverage.

The agreement lays the foundations for technical cooperation that addresses the country’s main health challenges in the next five years.

Mexican peso recovers after confirming the validity of the T-MEC

The peso recovers after confirming the validity of the T-MEC until 2036 with annual reviews.

The peso recovers ground against the dollar

The national currency registered an appreciation of 0.4% this Thursday, closing at 17.48 units per dollar in wholesale operations. At bank windows, the greenback stood at 17.91 pesos for sale, breaking a streak of two consecutive days with losses.

The recovery occurs after the continuity of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) was confirmed until 2036, under the annual review scheme agreed upon by the three countries.

The details of the official announcement

The Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, reported that the first formal review will begin on July 20 with the visit of a US delegation to Mexico. During the virtual meeting with their counterparts from the United States and Canada, Washington’s concern about the trade deficit was addressed.

Ebrard highlighted that more than 80% of Mexican exports to the United States continue to be tariff-free, with no changes to that scheme expected. The next working groups will focus on strengthening regional integration in strategic sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry and semiconductors, with the aim of reducing dependence on imports from other regions.

He specified that negotiations on the future of the treaty are limited exclusively to trade issues and do not include security issues.

AFAC revokes Magnicharters certificate after non-compliance

The airline could not prove regulatory compliance after an extraordinary verification.

Regulatory decision

The Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) revoked Magnicharters’ air services operator certificate. The measure was notified on June 29, after a regulatory review process.

The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) reported that the company’s right to a hearing was respected throughout the procedure. It was granted legal deadlines to present information and evidence that demonstrated compliance with current aeronautical regulations.

However, the documentation provided was insufficient. The airline was unable to prove that it met the necessary requirements to continue operating as a provider of passenger air transportation.

Origin of revocation

The decision derives from an extraordinary major verification carried out in January 2026. In it, non-compliance with the regulation of the sector was detected. This led to formal requirements and, subsequently, the temporary suspension of operations in April, as a preventive measure.

The SICT stressed that the revocation is based on the lack of sufficient evidence on the part of Magnicharters to prove its regulatory status. The company now faces the loss of its certificate, which prevents it from offering commercial air services.
