Political reforms, security, and controversies mark the day in Mexico
The Senate of the Republic approved a major change to the country's judicial system. Lawmakers decided to postpone the second phase of the election of judges until 2028. Additionally, this new reform will allow currently serving magistrates to be re-elected to their positions. At the same time, the Chamber of Deputies approved the creation of a Candidate Verification Commission. The objective of this office is to review the backgrounds of politicians and prevent organized crime from influencing elections.
In the field of federal justice, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) clarified a situation that generated many rumors. The institution officially denied the existence of Interpol red notices against Enrique Inzunza and other officials from the state of Sinaloa, including the governor on leave, Rubén Rocha Moya. On the other hand, in Tabasco, the legal process against Hernán Bermúdez Requena continues. The former state Secretary of Public Security will have a virtual hearing on June 1 to address his criminal case.
The air transport sector is also facing moments of tension. The National Union of Air Traffic Controllers (SINACTA) announced that it is in permanent assembly. This decision is a significant step toward a possible controllers' strike. Workers are seeking to pressure authorities to improve their working conditions, which could affect flights in the near future if an agreement is not reached.
Regarding regional issues and industrial security, Deputy Carlos Bautista Tafolla criticized the electoral reform in Michoacán. The legislator stated that these changes are a direct attack against the Movimiento del Sombrero and democracy in the state. Meanwhile, in Veracruz, the company Pemex reported that it managed to quickly control a fire outbreak at Ammonia Plant VII in Cosoleacaque. Authorities confirmed that the incident left no one injured and the situation is under control.
In the world of entertainment, the situation of actor Paco de la O has caused great concern among his followers. The actor posted a video where he appears very distressed and crying, which occurred after being accused of violence by Malú Corrales and Gaby Platas. Regarding this issue, actress Gaby Platas confirmed that there is still a legal restraining order against Paco de la O. This measure prohibits the actor from approaching her due to threats of media violence.
Finally, a curious news item has sparked a major debate on social media and among soccer fans. The figure known as 'Ajologol' was removed from the vicinity of the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Although many people thought it was a FIFA order, the capital's authorities and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) denied having given instructions to remove the statue of the famous axolotl.
