Suspension of classes in major cities and scholarship dates
The Mexican government has announced labor and school measures in the country's main cities, while payment schedules for social programs are confirmed. In Yucatán, public transportation reforms remain in effect following a court decision, and disruptions to basic services and security protests are reported in the center of the country.
The administration of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo decreed the suspension of classes for the afternoon shift in Mexico City and Guadalajara, in addition to establishing June 24 as a work-from-home (home office) day for civil servants. These measures respond to an increase in environmental or health factors not specified in detail, seeking to protect the student population and state workers.
In the economic sphere, beneficiaries of the Benito Juárez and Jóvenes Escribiendo el Futuro scholarships in Yucatán already have the payment dates corresponding to June 2026. The process also includes the delivery of bank cards so that students can access their financial support directly.
Regarding transportation in Yucatán, a District Court denied the suspension of the reforms to the Transport Agency Law (ATY). With this ruling, the new payment scheme for the 'Va y Ven' system—the metropolitan bus service—will continue to operate without immediate legal changes.
In matters of security and mobility, transport workers blocked the side lanes of Periférico Norte in Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The protesters are demanding greater protection from authorities in the face of extortions they suffer during their routes. On the other hand, in the port of Progreso, police recovered a stolen bell from the Divino Niño de Atocha church and arrested a couple linked to the incident.
Finally, residents of Tizimín and nearby communities are advised to take precautions, as a six-hour power outage has been scheduled for next Thursday, June 18, due to maintenance work.
