“Pope Leo XIV has a vision of the church that is very close to the poor, the vulnerable, but also similar to that of Pope Francis,” declared Sheinbaum in his morning conference from the National Palace on Friday, June 12.

More than support, human treatment

The president explained that it is not only about supporting migration, but also about guaranteeing humane treatment to those who must leave their countries. “For economic reasons, violence or natural disasters,” he said.

The Pope spoke from the “Las Raíces” reception center in Tenerife, Canary Islands. In his message, addressed to migrants, he stated:

“No matter where you come from, God’s love knows no borders. You are not numbers or files, you are people with a family and a home left behind.”

He also warned: “Do not give your existence to those who trade with it. These false promises are ‘siren songs’, they are industries of death.”

Sheinbaum agreed with this call not to criminalize or stigmatize those who migrate, and reiterated his government’s position of addressing the structural causes of the phenomenon.

Profeco warns about fraud in hosting for the 2026 World Cup

Profeco issues guidance to avoid fraud in temporary income during the 2026 World Cup.

Given the arrival of millions of visitors for the 2026 World Cup, the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) launched key recommendations for those who rent accommodation on digital platforms. The objective: reduce fraud risks and avoid setbacks.

The agency asked to verify the reputation of the host, review evaluations and age of the profile. It also warned about payment requests outside the platform. Protection mechanisms only apply when the entire operation is carried out within the system. He suggested avoiding direct transfers or external deposits.

It is recommended to check that the price shown includes taxes, commissions and additional charges. Additionally, demand clear cancellation and refund conditions. He pointed out that the property information must be transparent and correspond to reality.

Study on football schools

In the same World Cup context, Profeco analyzed 33 soccer schools in 22 states. The study was carried out through calls simulating a parent of a beginner 8-year-old child. The costs varied: from less than 400 pesos per month without registration in Aguascalientes, Campeche and Durango, to more than 2 thousand pesos in Mexico City and Quintana Roo.

The agency recommended comparing prices, facilities, training frequency and additional costs. He advised keeping receipts and regulations for future clarifications. This initiative is part of the World Social program of the Government of Mexico to promote sports.

Women’s Secretariat has been without a head for two months

Two months without a head in the Women's Secretariat despite promises of appointment.

Next Tuesday, June 16, it will be two months since Citlalli Hernández Mora left the Women’s Secretariat. The agency, created by President Claudia Sheinbaum as a historic gesture toward gender equality, remains without formal leadership.

Sheinbaum reported on April 16 that Hernández was joining the ranks of Morena. That same day, the former official was appointed president of the National Election Commission of the guinda party, ahead of the 2027 elections.

No headline, but with promises

A month later, on May 18, the President assured in her morning conference that she had already defined the person who would take over from Hernández. He promised to make the appointment public in the following days. That didn’t happen.

“There is Elvira Concheiro, Ingrid Gómez, both of whom are very good, and a team that is working on the Free Centers, the Weavers of the Homeland, and the program that we continue with the Women’s Secretariat,” Sheinbaum justified on May 18.

The Women’s Secretariat is the only federal agency that has been headless for almost two months. In previous Cabinet changes, new incumbents were announced on the same day or days apart via videos on social media.

Operation paused

The agency’s official site still shows Hernández Mora’s face as “Secretary of Women.” Seven other positions appear in the directory, but there is no public office manager.

Hernández Mora defended in networks that the institution “is not a single person” and that there is an Annual Plan, goals and planning. However, he did not mention who is in charge of daily operations.

The absence of leadership contrasts with the priority discourse that the government gave to this secretariat when creating it. Women’s organizations have questioned the lack of continuity in key policies.

Saraguato monkey rescued in Quintana Roo after complaint of abuse

Profepa secures a primate tied to a block in deplorable conditions in Othón P. Blanco.

Rescue and conditions of the primate

The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) secured a saraguato monkey in Quintana Roo after a citizen complaint alerted about its poor condition. The specimen, also known as a howler monkey, remained tied with a bib to a block in a home in Othón P. Blanco.

The animal had no space to protect itself from the sun or rain. It also did not have a drinking fountain or container to feed itself. During the inspection, Profepa personnel confirmed that the monkey could not move and was in “poor condition.”

The environmental authority indicated that these conditions violate the dignified and respectful treatment required by the General Wildlife Law. It is worth remembering that this species is listed in danger of extinction according to NOM-059-Semarnat-2010, so its care is a priority.

According to the person inspected, the primate was stolen from its habitat after being found with injuries and possible scabies by a worker in sugarcane crops. He took it to the home to recover it, although it was not detailed whether there will be sanctions for the conditions in which it was found.

“The conditions in which the primate was found constitute a lack of dignified and respectful treatment in accordance with Chapter VI of the General Wildlife Law,” indicated Profepa.

With the support of the Othón P. Blanco City Council, the monkey was transferred to the Payo Obispo Zoological Park. There he will receive temporary shelter and adequate care while his condition is evaluated and his final location is defined.

The Attorney General’s Office reiterated the call to citizens to report any sightings of primates. Likewise, he recalled that the Non-Human Primate Care Protocol has been active for almost a month due to the increase in temperatures and natural phenomena that could affect them.
