Sheinbaum celebrates the growth of Mexicana de Aviación

The state airline expands its fleet and routes, offering affordable fares and a unique travel experience from AIFA.

A Flight Full of Optimism and Progress

Hello, forward-thinking community! I bring you news that fills our hearts with pride and shows us that collective dreams do take off. President Claudia Sheinbaum shared incredible energy as she celebrated a new milestone: the fifth addition of the modern EMBRAER E-195 jet to the Mexicana de Aviación fleet. Your message? Traveling on this airline, the one from the town, is such a positive and special experience that it can only be described with “it’s very nice“. Each takeoff from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) is not just a trip; It is a symbol that Mexico is on the move, advancing with confidence towards new horizons.

Expansion and Opportunities for All

From the National Palace, with that clarity and determination that inspire action, Sheinbaum stressed that this achievement is just the beginning. Mexicana de Aviación does not stop growing: it is increasing its frequency of flights, connecting more passengers and, most transformatively, reaching destinations that previously seemed unattainable. This shows us a powerful lesson: when a project is born with a vision of service and common well-being, it is not only viable, but it becomes an engine of opportunities. A state flag airline can be profitable and, at the same time, fulfill the noble mission of making air tickets more accessible. Imagine! We are breaking barriers so that more people can say “yes” to adventure, family reunion or new life projects. Each seat occupied is a story that begins, a bond that strengthens.

Merlin Duck faces legal battle over trademark registration

The IMPI reviews applications to register the famous duck as a trademark; Sheinbaum intervenes.

The Merlin Duck registration in dispute

The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) confirmed that it has received applications to register “Pato Merlín” as a trademark. The petitions are under review and, once the process is concluded, a resolution will be issued in accordance with the Federal Law for the Protection of Industrial Property.

“Applications for trademark registration related to the Merlin duck have been received, which are in the process provided for in the applicable regulations. Once concluded, the IMPI will issue the resolution that corresponds by law,” the agency reported.

File 3643308 details that on June 17, a man residing in Mérida, Yucatán, requested a 10-year concession of the brand and logo “El Pato Merlín. El Pato de laluck.” The design includes a duck with a green shirt and an image of Quetzalcóatl, similar to that of the Mexican Soccer Team, with the Aztec Calendar in the background. The applicant seeks to use the trademark in dozens of businesses, including for political campaign advertising.

President Claudia Sheinbaum, during her morning conference at the National Palace, referred to the case. Accompanied by Karla, the duck’s owner, she noted that her government will help the family so that the bird has “a better quality of life.” Regarding someone else’s registration request, Sheinbaum described it as an abuse.

“It’s not fair that someone else wanted to register the duck as a trademark. Imagine, what an abuse!” said the president.

Sheinbaum indicated that his administration supported the family to register the duck with the IMPI, in a process that is now advancing amid controversy.

Arrested in Culiacán with weapons, explosives and stolen vehicle.

Operational in the Los Angeles sector

CULIACAN, Sin. — Elements of the National Guard detained a civilian during a patrol in the Los Angeles sector, northwest of the capital of Sinaloa. The discovery occurred near a private housing unit.

Upon noticing the presence of the authorities, the individual made an evasive maneuver. He was chased and caught up for a search.

Weapons, chargers and explosives

In the truck he was driving—a 2022 model Mazda CX-5, white, reported stolen—two automatic rifles, a pistol, nine supplied magazines and a container with improvised explosive devices, still unquantified, were found.

The detainee was placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office, which will open an investigation file. The vehicle was also seized with a report of theft.

According to previous information, an anonymous call to the emergency lines alerted about armed people in a residence in the area, near the road that leads to the Imala receivership.

Sheinbaum announces 42 CT scanners and telemedicine to strengthen health

The president detailed investments in medical equipment, telemedicine and improvement of clinics.

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported on advances in the public health system, with investments in equipment, telemedicine and improvement of clinics. He affirmed that the State must guarantee access to health from prevention to care for complex diseases.

“We are compensating for the profound damage that neoliberalism caused in the health system,” he said at the morning conference.

Equipment and telemedicine

The IMSS installed 42 state-of-the-art CT scanners in 40 hospitals in 19 states. Of these, 41 are from 256 cuts. They allow early detection of tumors and bleeding, perform up to 50 studies per day and reduce waiting times. They were acquired for 29 million pesos each, below the 40 million in the past.

The ISSSTE expanded telemedicine from 239 to 859 units. It offers consultations in 15 specialties, such as cardiology and dermatology, from 118 second and third level units to 741 first level.

The Clinic is Ours

The La Clínica es Nuestra program delivered 4,608 million pesos in 2025 to 8,483 medical units, with the participation of 67,864 people. 42 thousand improvement actions were carried out in infrastructure and equipment. The 2026 call will begin in July, including for the first time 153 units from Yucatán with 80 million pesos.

Sheinbaum added that progress is being made in the House to House Health program, with more than 20 million consultations with older adults and people with disabilities. Starting in August-September, you will be able to collect medications at Farmacias del Bienestar, health centers and a network of pharmacies. Next year the Universal Health Service will begin with a single credential.
