Salinas Pliego emits a cry for the freedom of Mexico

A powerful citizen message that resonated on social networks hours before the official celebration.

A Call to Action on the Most Patriotic Night

On the eve of one of the most symbolic and profound celebrations for the heart of Mexico, the 215th anniversary of its fight for Independence, a powerful voice was raised beyond the presidential balcony. Ricardo Salinas Pliego, founder of Grupo Salinas, decided not to be just another spectator of history, but rather an active protagonist, using his platform to send a message of empowerment and a call for collective reflection.

As the nation prepared to gather in Mexico City’s Zócalo and witness President Claudia Sheinbaum’s first Cry of Independence, social media became an alternative public square. Through a video published on his personal ‘X’ account, the businessman launched a proclamation that resonated with the strength of those who believe in the transformative power of citizenship. Under the motto “Life, property and freedom“, this publication instantly became a focus of attention, adding thousands of views and reactions in a matter of hours.

The Strength of a Message of Unity and Hope

The scene could not be more emblematic. Accompanied by his wife, María Laura Medina, and with the tricolor glow of the national flag and the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe as witnesses, Salinas Pliego embodied the spirit of a leader who trusts in the potential of his people. His speech was not one of complaint, but of empowerment, an invitation to take the reins of national destiny and stop the injustices that threaten fundamental freedoms.

With contagious energy and a tone full of conviction, his words were a reminder that true independence is renewed every day with our actions. “Mexicans. Enough of this criminal and corrupt regime,” he declared, but his message did not stop there. The essence of his speech was a call to personal and collective responsibility, to believe in the ability to build a more prosperous and just future. It is a message that inspires us not to give up, to stand up for what we love and to remember that each of us has the power to be the change we want to see.

His conclusion, passionately chanting “Viva México!“, was more than a shout; It was an affirmation of faith in the nation and its people. It is a perfect example of how, from our trenches, we can contribute to the greatness of our country. This moment invites us to reflect on our active role in society, to move beyond complaint and into constructive action, to learn from challenges and to celebrate every step forward, no matter how small, towards freedom and prosperity.

This event shows us that transformation waits for no one; It begins with a decision, with a voice that dares to say “enough” and with a heart that believes in the possibility of a better tomorrow. It is a lesson that optimism and courage are the most powerful tools for shaping reality. Today is the perfect day to ask ourselves: what are we doing to contribute to the freedom and progress of our community? The time to act is now.

CEDH reviews official action after car accident in Cabo

The ECHR opened an ex officio complaint for a collision during the 2026 World Cup celebrations.

Incident in Cabo San Lucas

The State Human Rights Commission (CEDH) of Baja California Sur initiated an ex officio complaint for the accident that occurred Wednesday night in Cabo San Lucas. The event occurred during the celebrations for the victory of the Mexican National Team in the 2026 World Cup.

The agency seeks to determine if there were violations of human rights derived from actions or omissions of the authorities before, during and after the incident. The investigation is carried out in parallel with that of the State Attorney General’s Office (PGJE).

“The analysis will be carried out independently, objectively and impartially,” the ECHR said in a statement.

In addition, the commission invited anyone who believes their rights have been violated to file a formal complaint to receive guidance and support.

The facts

The accident occurred on Lázaro Cárdenas Boulevard, the main tourist corridor in Cabo San Lucas. Hundreds of people celebrated Mexico’s victory against the Czech Republic. According to official municipal information, a vehicle was surrounded by attendees and then moved forward, hitting several pedestrians.

The balance was 17 people injured, two in serious condition. Among the injured is the driver, who was beaten by fans after the incident. The PGJE maintains an open investigation folder to clarify the mechanics of the events.

The ECHR called for investigations to respect due process, the presumption of innocence and the rights of all people involved. It also followed up to ensure that the victims receive care and that the case is resolved legally and transparently.

Football and diplomacy: this is how Mexico and Spain reconciled

The meeting between the king and the president closed seven years of diplomatic tensions.

A match that sealed diplomatic peace

The Soccer World Cup was the stage to resolve a conflict that lasted seven years. King Felipe VI of Spain traveled to Guadalajara to watch the Spain-Uruguay match and took the opportunity to meet with President Claudia Sheinbaum. For an hour they talked and considered the discrepancies that began in 2019, when Mexico demanded a real apology for the Conquest, overcome.

“Felipe, thank you for coming,” said Miguel Campos, a 41-year-old Spanish bank employee who was attending the game. He considered the controversy “more politicking and making media noise than what people feel.”

“There is no hatred towards Spain and I believe that Mexicans and Spaniards are half cousins-brothers,” he explained while waving a Spanish flag.

Sergio Astorga, a Mexican waiter, agreed: “It was a lack of communication because (the unity between) Mexicans and Spaniards is part of us.”

The gesture that changed everything

The public apology never occurred, but the monarch acknowledged last March “moral and ethical controversies” during the conquest at an exhibition in Madrid. Two days later, Sheinbaum’s invitation to the World Cup was confirmed. “It was a matter of dignity for the people of Mexico,” the president said on Friday, and stressed that without those words from the king the rapprochement would not have been possible.

Sheinbaum sought to be consistent with the position of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who sent the letter demanding an apology and put relations on “pause” in 2022. She did not invite Felipe VI to her investiture in 2024.

Pragmatism and geopolitics

The commercial, cultural and social ties between both countries are key. In an uncertain global context and with Donald Trump’s administration applying unilateral and anti-immigration policies, strengthening the relationship was necessary. Sheinbaum attended a meeting of progressive leaders in Barcelona where a message of unity against Trump was sent.

On Thursday, Felipe VI and Sheinbaum spoke about trade, the economy and “the situation in the world, how it is important to recognize the Charter of the United Nations,” according to the president, who described the king as “a very simple person.”

Other royals in the World Cup

Felipe VI was not the only member of royalty in Mexico. Princess Hisako of Takamado of Japan visited Monterrey to see her team. And King Willem-Alexander and Máxima of the Netherlands were in Houston and Kansas City supporting Holland and Curacao, which was making its debut in a World Cup.
