Sheinbaum defends the popular election of the Judiciary amid protests

The president defends a historic change in justice while facing criticism and marches.

A historic turn that shakes the foundations of justice

On a day that will be recorded in the annals of the nation, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the president of Mexico, raised her voice like thunder in the midst of the political storm. As thousands marched through the streets of the capital demanding the annulment of the judicial election, she, with the firmness of a titan, defended the will of the people. “They get angry!” he exclaimed with a mixture of defiance and conviction, as if the fate of the Republic hung in the balance. “Because now it is not a few in the shadows who decide, but the beating heart of Mexico.”

The people take the reins of their destiny

In Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, under the inclement sun that seemed to witness history, Sheinbaum inaugurated the Maternal and Child Hospital with words that resonated like an oath. “The Judiciary is no longer a loot for the privileged,” he declared, while his voice cut the air like a sword. “It is the people who choose, who monitor, who demand equal justice for all.” His words, loaded with an almost revolutionary fervor, evoked Juárez: “No one and nothing above the law.” A war cry against the inequality that has corroded the system for decades.

But it wasn’t all promises. The president revealed a powerful symbol: Hugo Aguilar, the next president of the Supreme Court, a Mixtec who, in another time, would never have dreamed of reaching such a position. “He is professional, honest, a son of transformation,” he stated, as if his appointment closed a cycle of exclusion. However, the shadows of discord lurked. While she spoke of unity, the streets burned with protests denouncing fraud and control of the Executive over the Judiciary. Was this the price of democracy or the beginning of an even bigger battle?

Health as a political battlefield

The drama did not end there. Sheinbaum, with a steely gaze, attacked critics of the health system. “They want to see us fail,” he said, defiantly, as if challenging the gods of the old regime. “But this hospital is proof that Seguro Popular was a hoax, a business disguised as help.” Every word of his was a blow against what he called the “lies” of his opponents. And in the midst of the noise, he announced an almost epic mission: Carlos Ulloa, at the head of Birmex, would guarantee that no medicine was missing in hospitals. Could this man be the hero Mexico needed?

The stage was set for a clash of titans: on the one hand, a leader who promised justice and health for all; on the other, voices that cried fraud and feared the concentration of power. Who was right? Only time would tell. But one thing was clear: Mexico was experiencing days of passion, of struggle, of transformation… and nothing would be the same again.

Pedestrian bridge collapses on Manzanillo beach; two injured

Pedestrian bridge fall on La Boquita beach leaves two minor injuries.

Collapse in La Boquita

Two people suffered minor injuries after the collapse of the pedestrian bridge on La Boquita beach, in Manzanillo, Colima. The incident occurred on the afternoon of Saturday, July 25 and mobilized Civil Protection elements, who came to provide support.

According to the authorities, those affected did not require hospital transfer. The area was cordoned off to avoid risks to other tourists and to allow security checks.

Background and investigation

The same bridge had already collapsed in 2017 and was rebuilt. However, authorities noted that the new structure appeared to have deficiencies. An investigation will begin to determine responsibilities for its construction and maintenance.

Specialized personnel will carry out inspections to evaluate conditions and rule out other risk points. Visitors were asked to avoid the affected area. Municipal and state authorities will maintain surveillance until safe access is guaranteed.

The case revived the debate about tourism infrastructure and the need for periodic reviews in public spaces.

PAN accuses political persecution against Ernesto Ruffo Appel

The PAN leader denounces political use of justice against the former governor of Baja California.

Accusations of political persecution

The national president of the PAN, Jorge Romero Herrera, assured that Ernesto Ruffo Appel is a victim of political persecution by the federal government. In a statement, the PAN leader pointed out that the admission of the former governor of Baja California to a maximum security prison responds to a political use of justice institutions.

Romero Herrera stated that there is not enough evidence to support the accusations against Ruffo Appel for an alleged tax evasion network. The PAN member maintained that the government has chosen to persecute opponents while ignoring accusations against Morena figures.

Comparison with Morena cases

The PAN leader mentioned Morenoist politicians such as Rubén Rocha Moya, Enrique Inzunza, Américo Villarreal and Marina del Pilar Ávila. He said that they have faced questions about possible links to organized crime without the authorities acting as quickly.

Romero Herrera insisted that the law must be applied without distinctions. He stressed that anyone who commits a crime must respond to justice, but demanded that the criminal system not be used as a tool of political persecution.

Afore withdrawals and unpaid loans put millions at risk

Moreira and experts warn about the impact of early withdrawals and unpaid loans.

Risk for workers’ assets

Rubén Moreira, coordinator of the PRI in the Chamber of Deputies, warned that the increase in the overdue portfolio of mortgage and consumer loans, along with the increase in withdrawals from Afores due to unemployment, puts the assets and future pensions of millions of Mexicans at risk.

During the program “With Pears, Apples and Oranges”, Moreira pointed out:

The lack of employment has forced many families to stop paying their bank loans and resort to their retirement savings to cover basic needs such as food and medicine.

The legislator criticized the fact that there is not enough information about the consequences of withdrawing resources from the Afores, since this reduces accumulated savings for retirement.

He also warned about the growth of loans granted by fintech and digital banks, some of which can handle high financial costs and represent risks for users.

Mario Di Costanzo, specialist, reported that between January and June of this year more than one million workers made partial withdrawals of their Afores due to unemployment. He added that Infonavit’s overdue portfolio reached 410 billion pesos during the first quarter of 2026, while mortgage and consumer loans in arrears exceeded 110 billion pesos.

Miguel Ángel Sulub, for his part, explained that early withdrawals from Afores not only affect the amount available for retirement, but also the weeks of contributions necessary to obtain a pension.
