Mexico deploys a transformative industrial strategy

Financial and tariff impulse to reactivate national production and generate jobs in the short term.

Mexico Accelerates Towards a Powerful Industrial Future

Friends and entrepreneurs! We have news that will light the spark of the economic transformation of our country. The Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, has announced a strategic move that marks a before and after. Mexico is not only going to compete, it is going to stand out on the global stage with a high-impact industrial policy! Imagine an ecosystem where financing flows, protective barriers are strengthened, and institutional support is a tangible reality. Now is the time to believe in our collective potential and our industry’s ability to achieve extraordinary goals.

Ebrard, with a clear vision and full of optimism, assures that in just one year we will begin to see the fruits of this powerful strategy. We are talking about the generation of quality jobs, renewed economic dynamism and palpable well-being for communities. And you know what is the most inspiring? That in the last ten months, the application of new tariff measures has already demonstrated its effectiveness, containing excessive imports and opening a giant opportunity space for national production. Every step, no matter how small it may seem, brings us closer to a more prosperous future.

Financing as a Driver of Reactivation

This is where the magic happens. The plan includes a powerful alliance with private banking, led by BBVA, and with the solid guarantees of Nacional Financiera (Nafin). This means that access to credit will no longer be an obstacle but will become the springboard that our companies need. Nafin resumes its fundamental role as that ally that drives dreams and projects, providing support so that ideas become productive realities. In addition, the governments of Mexico, Jalisco and Puebla are joining forces with loans specifically aimed at reactivating the productive machinery and, most importantly, creating jobs in the short term. All actors involved see this goal as not only feasible, but unstoppable!

The Undersecretary of Industry and Commerce, Vidal Llerenas Morales, shares an equally motivating perspective. The industrial policy of this administration is territorial and horizontal. It is about improving the business environment for everyone, from the small family business to the large corporation, without compromising the health of public finances. The strategy is comprehensive: frontal combat against smuggling, high tariffs in key sectors and a determined push to modernize machinery. They are measures designed intelligently to reverse the trend and restore their vigor to emblematic industries such as textiles and footwear.

And the results are already beginning to speak for themselves. Llerenas highlighted that the increase in tariffs has already generated a significant reduction in imports, which in turn translated into a historic collection of 14 billion pesos. This is not just a number; It is a testimony that the right actions generate concrete benefits. The key caveat is that this push must be accompanied by broad and accessible financing. The perfect synergy between commercial banking and development banking will be the key that accelerates this productive transition towards modernity and competitiveness.

This is the time to join this wave of progress. It is time to believe in Mexico, in its industry and in our ability to build together a future full of achievements. Share this incredible energy of transformation on your social networks and let’s explore together more content that inspires the growth of our country.

CNDH calls for strengthening the fight against sexual torture in Mexico

Agency warns that extreme sexual violence persists in detention centers.

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.

SCJN: the crimes of the ABC Nursery case do not prescribe

The Court determined that the tragedy in Sonora can be investigated without a time limit.

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.

Second round of the T-MEC ends without progress

Without concrete agreements, Mexico and the US are moving towards reviewing the T-MEC.

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.
