A song transformed into a cry for justice

With more than 135 thousand people missing in Mexico, searching mothers and family members decided to raise their voices from the Monument to the Revolution. They adapted “Cielito Lindo”, a popular Mexican anthem, to denounce the crisis that does not stop.

The act occurred during the National Team’s third game in the World Cup. The modified version includes verses such as “we go searching, crossing seas and lands, never stopping.” Mothers, fathers, and family members held search tokens as they sang.

The intervention fused musical tradition with the demand for truth. Each stanza sought to remember those who have been taken away without a trace. “Cielito Lindo” stopped being just a song of encouragement and became an urgent call.

Authorities have recognized the magnitude of the problem, but families continue to point out the lack of resources and responses. The modified song is now circulating on social media as a symbol of resistance.

These actions seek to keep alive the memory of the missing and press for effective search and location policies.

The republication of an old interview attributed to Carlos Monsiváis climbed to the center of the Mexican political debate this Wednesday. The issue was discussed both in the Senate and in President Claudia Sheinbaum’s morning conference.

The original text was written by journalist Edmundo Cázares in 1999 and recently republished by El Universal. It contains statements about the then head of Government Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Its veracity and context have been questioned, generating conflicting positions.

Sheinbaum describes the content as “grotesque”

During her conference, the president harshly criticized the publication. He described the content as “grotesque” and accused the medium of generating a controversy that distorts the tribute to the Mexican intellectual.

Reactions in the Senate

The issue also reached Congress. Senator Lilly Téllez read fragments of the text on the platform. In response, Gerardo Fernández Noroña rejected its use and maintained that it was a false publication with the intention of political attack.

The exchange reflects the polarization around the figure of López Obrador and the use of historical documents as partisan weapons.

The national leadership of the PRI demanded that the Mexican State intervene urgently in response to the complaint by inhabitants of the Guajes de Ayala ejido, in Coyuca de Catalán, Guerrero. The residents reported the incursion of armed civilians into their community in the Sierra.

Call for safety

Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, president of the party, asked the authorities to guarantee the safety of the families. He warned that these events should not be normalized due to the risk they represent for the civilian population.

The leader pointed out that in various communities in Guerrero they live under siege by armed groups. This has caused displacement, confinement of inhabitants and a constant climate of fear and uncertainty. He considered an immediate response from the State necessary.

Moreno Cárdenas also criticized the federal government for minimizing the situation of violence in the country. He affirmed that the population faces conditions of insecurity that require priority attention to restore the rule of law in the region.

Inflation in Mexico continues to decline. According to Inegi, it stood at 3.55% annually during the first half of June. This represents a drop of 0.11 percentage points compared to the second half of May.

With three consecutive months of deceleration, the indicator remains within Banxico’s target range (3% plus/minus one point). This level is key for purchasing power.

Pressures on core inflation

However, pressures remain. Core inflation—which reflects medium and long-term trends—was at 4.12%, with a biweekly increase of 0.19 points. Within this category, merchandise rose 3.65% annually and services, 4.57%.

Non-core inflation and seasonality

In contrast, non-core inflation slowed to 1.61% annually, driven by the drop in agricultural prices. Products such as tomatoes, eggs and poblano peppers recorded significant decreases.

The report also reflected seasonal movements in tourist services, related to the summer and the Soccer World Cup. Air transportation, hotels and tour packages increased. Despite this, analysts foresee a favorable trend towards the end of the year.
