There is already a date for the next school break

They barely resumed their routine and already many parents, with a mixture of hope and fatigue, are looking on the calendar for the next parenthesis. The official Easter break for schools is already marked in red.

The verdict of the official calendar

According to the SEP School Calendar 2025-2026, the recess will be from Monday, March 30 to Friday, April 10. Classes will return on Monday the 13th.

“These dates correspond to the official school break of the 185 days of mandatory classes,” says the agency.

A juicy detail: Friday, March 27 will also be without classes for the School Technical Council. Translation: the bridge starts earlier.

Here comes my professional skepticism. The SEP announces holidays, but the Federal Labor Law does not consider them mandatory for everyone. That is, just because your children rest does not guarantee that you can do so. A classic disconnect between the ideal world and the real one.

Liturgical dates vs. family vacation

For believers, it is a week of reflection. For most, it is a springboard to travel or simply stop. Tourism rubs its hands.

The key dates are:

Palm Sunday: March 29
Good Friday: April 3
Easter Sunday: April 5

Meanwhile, other free days on the radar are Juárez Birthday (March 16) and Labor Day (May 1). Planning ahead never hurts, surviving the school year sometimes requires it.

Strategic alliance for labor rights

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the National Fund for Workers’ Consumption (Fonacot) signed a collaboration agreement that updates their exchange of information and services. The objective: respond to the current operational, technological and regulatory needs of both agencies.

The agreement was signed by Wendolyne Retana Alarcón, general director of Fonacot, and Luisa Obrador Garrido Cuesta, director of Incorporation and Collection of the IMSS. It will be valid until September 30, 2030, with the possibility of extending it for two more years.

The relationship between both institutions dates back to 2007. Since then they have maintained a constant flow of data to facilitate procedures and guarantee better credit and social security conditions for working people.

With this update, the aim is to streamline processes, reduce response times and strengthen the protection of the rights of the country’s formal workers.

Energía Costa Azul makes first shipment of LNG in the Pacific

First shipment of liquefied natural gas from the Mexican Pacific marks an energy milestone.

The Energía Costa Azul project, in Ensenada, Baja California, completed the first shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Mexican Pacific coast. The Sempra Infrastructure company confirmed that the shipment is part of the tests prior to the start of commercial operations.

International context

This movement occurs in a context of high demand for energy security. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20% of global LNG trade passes, have accelerated the search for new supply routes.

Strategic advantage

Sempra Infrastructure noted that phase 1 of the project will connect North American gas with Asian markets, taking advantage of the strategic location of the Mexican Pacific coast. Researcher Adrián Duhalt highlighted that the proximity to the gas-producing basins of the United States represents a competitive advantage for Mexico.

The Mexican ambassador to the United States, Roberto Lazzeri, confirmed that the diplomatic representation will accompany the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican citizen who died after being shot by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).

What actions will Mexico take?

Lazzeri announced that all available resources will be used to demand a serious and transparent investigation. The case joins a list of 17 Mexicans deceased in events linked to ICE operations or in immigration detention centers.

On instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum and Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco, the Embassy in Washington and the Consulate in Houston will meet with US authorities: Department of State, Department of Homeland Security and ICE itself.

Meeting details

Mexico will request a detailed review of what happened and the implementation of clear protocols to prevent similar events from being repeated. “We do not seek to question the right of the United States to apply its laws, but rather to guarantee respect for life and human dignity,” Lazzeri said.

The diplomat reiterated that Mexico will maintain a firm stance in the defense of its compatriots in US territory.
