Sheinbaum: VAT refund meets deadlines, asks to simplify procedures

Atzalan, Veracruz. Between dirt roads, natural landscapes and great family coexistence, the 2026 edition of the traditional Citrus Route was successfully carried out, one of the most anticipated adventure events for all-terrain vehicle fans in the region.

From early in the morning, dozens of participants from various municipalities of Veracruz and neighboring states gathered to travel the routes designed by the organizers, crossing rural trails, forested areas and characteristic roads of this municipality located in the central mountainous area of the state. 

The activity brought together drivers of ATVs, ATVs and UTVs, who enjoyed a tour full of excitement, camaraderie and spectacular natural views. During the day, an atmosphere of family coexistence prevailed, strengthening the ties between lovers of motor sports and adventure tourism.

Participants highlighted the hospitality of the inhabitants of Atzalan and the beauty of the natural settings that the region offers, factors that have made the Citrus Route a benchmark for this type of events in Veracruz.

In addition to promoting recreation and sports, the activity represents an important economic benefit for service providers, local businesses and entrepreneurs, who benefit from the arrival of visitors during the development of the event.

Authorities and organizers agreed that the Citrus Route continues to consolidate itself as a platform to promote regional tourism, showing the state and the country the natural, cultural and gastronomic wealth of Atzalan.

With a large participation and white balance, the 2026 edition concluded, leaving a memorable experience for attendees and reaffirming its place as one of the most important off-road meetings in the Veracruz entity.

Suspension due to irregularities in hearing

The Judicial Disciplinary Court provisionally suspended a control judge. The judge modified without basis the preventive detention of a person subject to extradition.

According to the Disciplinary Commission, during a hearing intended to review whether this precautionary measure should be maintained or changed, the judge deviated from the objective. He asked the Public Ministry to propose new measures. He then determined that it was not appropriate to maintain justified preventive detention and replaced it with less restrictive ones.

The Commission noted that the hearing lost its original purpose: to analyze whether the measure should continue, be modified, or repealed in accordance with the law. He considered that the action could affect the procedure and raise doubts about legal certainty. For this reason, it decided on the provisional suspension as a precautionary measure.

The president of the Disciplinary Commission, Judge Rufino H. León Tovar, stated:

This body will act firmly when there are elements that call into question the correct actions of those who administer justice.

He added that judicial resolutions must consider their impact on people’s lives, on the protection of victims and on public confidence in the criminal justice system. The suspension does not resolve the substance of the matter; seeks to protect the investigation while determining whether there was irregularity.

Assembly decision

The National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) is moving towards the end of its current day of struggle. Section 22 of Oaxaca agreed to withdraw its bases from the sit-in in the Historic Center of Mexico City and return to the entity to reorganize actions.

The state assembly of Oaxacan teachers made this decision after analyzing the results of the negotiations with the federal government. The largest contingent of the CNTE arrived at the National Representative Assembly (ANR) with the position of withdrawing the movement. The ANR started at 9:00 p.m. this Friday.

In the afternoon, work began to dismantle tents, tarps and structures in the streets surrounding the Zócalo. Hundreds of teachers were preparing to return to their states.

Political and organizational route

The ANR will formalize the decision on the recess of the national strike and will define the political and organizational route for the coming weeks. Leaders reiterated that government responses have been insufficient, especially in pensions and repeal of the ISSSTE Law of 2007. The wear and tear of the mobilization and the lack of new agreements led the bases to support a tactical withdrawal.

If the agreement is ratified, the lifting of the sit-in will put an end to almost three weeks of protests, blockades and mobilizations. The CNTE maintains its demands and will continue the fight through other means.
