Suspension of classes and teleworking due to the party

On Wednesday, June 24, the match between the Mexican National Team and the Czech Republic in the 2026 World Cup not only generates expectation among fans, but also doubts about school and work activities. The Government of Mexico has already responded: there will be suspension of classes in the capital.

The measure applies to all educational levels—preschool, primary, secondary, high school and higher education—in both public and private schools, including morning and afternoon shifts. Although the SEP calendar did not contemplate this day as a rest, a special decree published in the DOF made the suspension official.

What happens to work centers?

Government agencies must implement teleworking, remote work or flexible modalities to reduce the physical presence of staff. The private sector was also urged to adopt the home office, with the aim of reducing vehicular traffic and avoiding complications due to the logistics of the game.

However, there are strategic sectors that will continue to operate in person. Among them: health services, hospitals, emergencies, civil protection, national and public security, immigration control and customs operations. All workers in these essential areas will not be able to benefit from the remote scheme.

The recommendation seeks to minimize impacts on the roads near the Mexico City Stadium and on the main routes of the city. The authorities are confident that the combination of school suspension and work flexibility will reduce the impact on mobility.

Sheinbaum reiterates his stance against nepotism

President Claudia Sheinbaum once again spoke out against direct family members inheriting elected positions. She did so during her morning conference on Tuesday, when questioned about cases such as that of San Luis Potosí, where Senator Ruth González—wife of Governor Ricardo Gallardo—is seeking the governorship.

“People don’t like it when the family member stays, but it depends on each political party,” he responded.

Sheinbaum recalled that he promoted a constitutional reform to prohibit nepotism up to the fourth level of kinship. The measure was established, but will come into force until 2030.

“Evidently I made that proposal, because I do not agree that in 2027 there will be a family member, however it was no longer in the Constitution for 2027. The Morena party assumed that from 2027,” he emphasized.

The president also warned about the use of gender as a justification for appointing candidates. Although he supported gender equality in the applications, he asked not to abuse that criterion to guide candidates.

“I do not agree that the change in the case of gender is used to justify whether one person or another person goes,” he added.

Sheinbaum pointed out that the INE must regulate the issue of gender equality, but considered that legislation is needed to avoid distortions. His position comes in the middle of the electoral process that will start in 2027, where several states will renew governorships and local congresses.
