Police discover 121 slot machines in an operation in Culiacán

First public intervention

Roberto Lazzeri participated this Wednesday in his first public event as Mexican ambassador to the United States. It was during an event organized by Donald Trump on the National Mall for the 250th anniversary of American independence.

There he heard the message from President Trump, who highlighted a 66% reduction in the flow of fentanyl into his country. Lazzeri pointed out that these results strengthen bilateral security cooperation, promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum based on respect for sovereignty and coordination.

A 35% decrease in overdose deaths in the United States was also mentioned, as well as the seizure of nearly 30,000 firearms. The ambassador attributed these figures to the joint work between both nations.

Trump used the event to refer to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be played in North America. Lazzeri assured that Mexico contributes to the project with actions in security, connectivity and tourism, with an estimated economic benefit of more than 18 billion pesos.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) postponed the mandatory registration of mobile lines. The deadline, scheduled for June 30, was extended to facilitate the process for millions of users.

New registration calendar

The new term applies only to unregistered prepaid lines. It will be staggered according to the last digit of the number. The dates range from August 15 to December 31, 2026.

So far, more than 63 million lines are registered: 40.2 million prepaid and 22.8 million postpaid. Millions are still missing.

Unregistered lines will be suspended by telephone companies within a period of up to 72 hours. During that time they will only be able to call emergencies, citizen services and their operator. Service is restored upon completion of registration.

Mexico closed 2025 with around 161.6 million active mobile lines, a penetration of more than 124% of the population. Additionally, if a line is used to commit a crime, authorities may request information directly from companies.

Achievements of the 2025-2026 school year

The Secretary of Public Education, Mario Delgado, presented the results of the 2025-2026 school year. Nearly a million teachers participated permanently in the School Technical Councils (CTE). The federal government allocated 23 billion pesos for works and equipment in 72 thousand schools.

“Looking back is looking at what we are and what strengthens us: a constant conversation between authorities and educational personnel,” said Delgado during the Eighth Ordinary Session of the CTE.

The CTEs were consolidated as learning communities to improve teaching, the official highlighted. In terms of support, the Rita Cetina Scholarship benefited 10 million public primary school students. In addition, eight million girls and boys received free comprehensive care through the Live Healthy, Live Happy strategy.

Investment and reforms

Delgado reported that 23 billion pesos were channeled through the School is Ours program and the Participatory Administration School Committees. The resources were used in infrastructure, works and equipment in Basic Education, Higher Secondary and special modalities schools.

In labor matters, rights were recovered for teachers: salary increases, creation of the Pension Fund for Wellbeing and modifications to stop the increase in the retirement age. The USICAMM will disappear to make way for a new model that guarantees transparency and eliminates influence, nepotism and the sale of positions.

Other actions

The national health strategy valued 10.7 million students in 82 thousand primary schools (96% of enrollment). The Mundialito Escolar 2026, linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought together more than 1.1 million students. The finals were held at the University Olympic Stadium.

The National Campaign for Peace and against Addictions “Stay away from drugs. Choose to be happy” integrated artistic and sports activities. More than six million people participated in the National Days, and 25 million in the Reading Marathons.

Finally, the SEP published an agreement to eradicate abuse in basic education, strengthening the prevention of school violence.
