The INE warns about risks of the CURP with a photo in electoral confidence

The INE analyzes how new identity policies could affect institutional credibility and participation in electoral processes.

A call to protect citizen trust

Attention, agents of change! The National Electoral Institute (INE) has just raised the alarm on an issue that involves us all: citizen identification. In a preliminary diagnosis, they warn that the new mechanisms promoted by the Federal Government, such as the CURP with photography, could impact confidence in the organization and, attention!, even reduce participation in elections. Are we ready to talk about this?

Opportunities and challenges in the digital age

Alejandro Sosa, director of the Federal Voter Registry, recognizes that there is still uncertainty. Will the INE share data from the Electoral Registry? The answer is not yet clear, but here is the positive side: every challenge is an opportunity to innovate. The new Single Identity Platform, announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum, seeks to speed up the search for missing people. An important advance! But how to balance security and privacy?

“It is not a threat, it is an area of ​​opportunity,” Sosa highlights. And he is right. The voter card is today the most used identification document. If an alternative arises, we must ensure that the handling of personal data is transparent and secure. Trust is the basis of all democracy!

Did you know that the CURP with photo could influence abstentionism? Less paperwork for voting cards sounds good, but… at what cost? The INE insists on carefully analyzing the initiatives before implementing them. Precision and care are key!

Final reflection: Technology advances, and with it, our responsibility. Protecting digital identity and maintaining institutional trust are achievable goals if we work together. Share this info and let’s continue building a safer and more participatory future!

One year after the discovery in a crematorium, families march for justice

One year after the discovery of 386 bodies, families demand justice and an end to corruption.

March for justice one year later

On Saturday afternoon, groups of families affected by the Plenitude crematorium case demonstrated. The discovery of 386 bodies turns one year old, and the bereaved demand answers.

The protest began at the Latinoamericana funeral home, one of those identified by family members. From there, the protesters walked towards the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE).

Dora Elena Delgado, spokesperson for the Justicia para Nuestros Deudos collective, reported that at least 1,500 families were affected. The central demand: no more impunity, no more corruption and full justice.

Actions pending by the authority

The protesters carried blankets with messages of justice. They demand action against Coespris officials involved in the case, as well as the recapture of José Luis A. C., owner of the crematorium. He was released by a federal judge, and a red card from Interpol is expected to arrest him again.

So far, of the 386 bodies found, the FGE reports that 135 remain to be identified. The identification process continues.

The collective Memory, Dignity and Justice joined the mobilization. They placed a permanent memorial in the shape of a cross outside the Prosecutor’s Office, as a reminder of the victims.

Sheinbaum asks to preserve native corn for national sovereignty

Sheinbaum highlights that native corn is key to food sovereignty and national identity.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo reaffirmed that the governments of the Fourth Transformation defend national sovereignty in all areas. During a meeting with farmers in Pijijiapan, Chiapas, he highlighted the importance of native corn as a pillar of Mexican identity and self-sufficiency.

Defense of sovereignty through native corn

Sheinbaum presented the “Corn is the Root” program, whose objective is to improve the conditions of producers and reduce dependence on seeds controlled by large corporations.

“Conserving native corn also means defending sovereignty,” he stated.

The president warned about the risks of hybrid seeds:

“If we continue with pure hybrid corn, people will depend on buying seeds and those who sell the seeds will be a few companies.”

He stressed that preserving native varieties is essential to avoid this economic dependence.

“If we did not have native corn, we would lose a good part of food sovereignty, of what we are as Mexicans,” he said.

In addition, it extended the defense of sovereignty to the energy, cultural and food fields. She assured that the Fourth Transformation drives her “in every possible way.”

The program seeks to strengthen small farmers and conserve the genetic diversity of corn, a central element in the country’s diet and culture.
