Telecommunications reform fades amid international tensions

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.

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.

Fleet modernization

Mexicana de Aviación incorporated its seventh Embraer aircraft model E190-E2, with registration XA-MXG. The team will begin the technical and regulatory processes before the aeronautical authority to join the operation.

The airline seeks to consolidate a fleet of 20 Embraers by the end of 2027. The general director, Leobardo Ávila Bojórquez, stated that each new aircraft represents confidence and opportunities.

“Today we received our seventh aircraft of the E-2 family, an addition that strengthens our operational capabilities and confirms that Mexicana continues to grow sustainably,” he declared at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport.

The E190-E2 stands out for its efficiency: it reduces fuel consumption and polluting emissions. Its 2+2 configuration offers comfort to passengers.

The fleet increased 40% compared to the previous year, and the supply of seats grew 33%. More than one million 70 thousand passengers have flown with Mexicana.

New routes for July

Ávila Bojórquez announced the incorporation of four destinations: Tuxtla Gutiérrez (July 6), Chihuahua (July 13), Hermosillo (July 20) and the Bajío International Airport (July 27).

“Each new destination is a door that opens to generate opportunities for tourism, investment, trade and regional development.”

The airline continues to expand its presence in the national territory and strengthen connectivity between regions.
