Mother of ABC Daycare victim demands justice from FGR

In Huehuetoca, State of Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum led the ceremony for the seventh anniversary of the National Guard, created in 2019.

Sheinbaum reported that the corporation has 125 thousand elements deployed in 53 coordinations and 590 barracks built by the Army. He highlighted that intentional homicide decreased 46% since October 2024, as part of the National Security Strategy.

Operating figures

Commander Guillermo Briseño Lobera explained that in the current six-year term, 45 thousand people have been arrested for crimes, 23 thousand firearms have been seized, more than 213 tons of drugs have been seized and two thousand clandestine laboratories have been dismantled.

He announced that Sedena is promoting a plan to reach 170,000 troops and 886 facilities by the end of the six-year term.

The president presented decorations to the personnel outstanding in security, training and confiscations, with special recognition to the elements of the Teotihuacan archaeological zone for their performance last April.

Morenoist proposal in response to teacher strikes

The local representative of Morena, María Eulalia Velasco Ramírez, presented an initiative to reform the Oaxaca Education Law. Their objective: to force the state government to hire substitute teachers during teacher strikes.

The legislator seeks to provide continuity to the educational service. To this end, it proposes immediate response mechanisms in the event of any suspension of teaching activities. The proposal now remains in the hands of the local Congress.

The reality of the protests in the state

Every year, Section 22 of the SNTE carries out staggered strikes as part of its union pressure strategy. In 2024, the protests lasted a month and mainly affected basic education schools. It is not the only union: there are also recurring strikes at the “Benito Juárez” Autonomous University of Oaxaca (UABJO) and other high school campuses.

Velasco Ramírez —mother of the Secretary of Tourism, Saymi Pineda— maintains that her initiative protects the right to education under the principle of the best interests of children. According to the representative, the most vulnerable students are the ones who suffer the most from suspensions.

Measures that the IEEPO would authorize

The reform empowers the State Institute of Public Education of Oaxaca (IEEPO) to take administrative, academic and extraordinary measures when the service is interrupted due to the unjustified absence of teaching staff. Among the permitted actions are: immediately designate substitute staff, enable alternative in-person care locations in nearby facilities, or implement academic strategies to avoid the loss of the school year.

The initiative emphasizes social justice for rural, indigenous communities or areas without internet access. In these cases, the educational authority must always prioritize the in-person modality to guarantee learning.

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that, once the Soccer World Cup is over, health specialists will attend the morning conference to expose the dangers of excessive use of social networks and digital platforms in girls, boys and adolescents in Mexico.

Platform regulation

A debate will be opened – with the participation of Congress and the media – about control of the platforms, who has it and how that power is concentrated. The discussion will include surveys of mothers and fathers. Based on the results, the use of social networks in schools will be regulated, for example with national limits on the use of cell phones in classrooms.

Artificial intelligence will also be analyzed: how it advances, what is happening in the world and what standards exist. Sheinbaum stressed that the initiative seeks to protect health, not censor. “There are abuses on the networks that should not be allowed. It is not censorship, it is the right to information and health care,” he said.

Planned actions

Once the World Cup is over, experts will warn families about the development of AI, without falling into censorship. The position had already been anticipated in presidential tours of Tabasco and Baja California, where children were urged to reduce screen time and practice sports outdoors.

The high number of hours in front of screens is worrying. On June 17, the president had already expressed concern because children and adolescents spend more time watching videos than playing, studying or living as a family. He stressed that there is no artificial intelligence law in Mexico and that it is necessary to create it through dialogue with parents and teachers.

Impact on health and socialization

It was warned that prolonged exposure to screens has consequences on physical health and the ability to socialize. The regulation will seek to balance access to technology with child well-being, without affecting the right to information.
