Sheinbaum calls for national unity

President Claudia Sheinbaum asked all political parties, Congress and Mexican society to join in rejecting the violations of the human rights of fellow citizens in the United States. He reported that this Monday the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) will present formal complaints for the death of 17 Mexicans linked to actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).

“This is an issue not only for the Government of Mexico… I call on all political parties, everyone, the entire society… to be in solidarity with our fellow citizens in the United States. I don’t think anyone would like this situation,” he declared at the morning conference.

The president also reported contact with the US ambassador Ronald D. Johnson, who was receptive to the Mexican position. Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco Álvarez communicated the legal actions to be taken and Johnson perceived the concern of the Government of Mexico.

Sheinbaum clarified that a bilateral conflict is not sought, but maintained that it is necessary to raise our voice in the face of human rights violations. He called on the Permanent Commission of the Congress of the Union so that all parties, without exception, present requests for information and show their rejection.

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a historic investment of nearly 59 billion pesos for educational infrastructure in 2026. The resources will be channeled through the School is Ours (LEEN) program and the Multiple Contributions Fund (FAM).

“Historical investment of 59 billion pesos for schools in the country, without considering what the federal entities invest directly,” he pointed out in the morning conference.

The Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, detailed the distribution: 37,715 million pesos for basic education (15,021 million pesos direct and 22,694 million pesos from LEEN); 10,916.4 million pesos for upper secondary education, which includes the creation of 156,240 new places through new National Baccalaureates; and 9,783.9 million pesos for higher education in schools such as the Rosario Castellanos University and TecNM.

In addition, the year closes with 22 million scholarship recipients at all educational levels, according to the official.

The School is Ours reaches more than 71 thousand schools

The general director of LEEN, Pamela López, reported that this year 71,482 schools were served with a social investment of 22,694 million pesos. Resources are allocated according to vulnerability, marginalization and social backwardness. The program covers from Multiple Care Centers to high schools, with full coverage in middle and high schools.

“All these achievements have been possible thanks to the participation of mothers, fathers, teachers, who make up the school communities,” said López.

Humanitarian aid from Mexico to Venezuela

The logistical support vessels ARM Isla Holbox and ARM Huasteco docked at the port of La Guaira, Venezuela. They carry assistance sent by the Mexican government for the victims of the June 24 earthquakes. The phenomenon left thousands of people dead and injured.

The Secretary of the Navy (Semar) reported that the mission was ordered by President Claudia Sheinbaum. It is part of Mexico’s commitment to international cooperation in the face of natural disasters.

What does the cargo include?

The boats sailed eight days through the Caribbean. They transported 388.4 tons of aid: food, bottled water, medicines, personal hygiene items and medical supplies. They also have four water treatment plants, each capable of generating a thousand liters of purified water per hour. The journey covered 1,969 nautical miles, equivalent to more than 3,600 kilometers.

Naval participation

One hundred elements of the Navy Emergency Response Brigades will participate in the disembarkation, installation and operation of the water treatment plants. They will also collaborate in the distribution of support together with local authorities.

Semar highlighted that the immediate emergency has already been overcome, but recovery actions continue to restore essential services in the affected communities. The operation was possible thanks to the coordination between the government, companies, foundations and civil organizations. Mexico thus reaffirms its policy of international solidarity in the face of disasters.
