Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a decree approved by a majority in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, establishing Mexican citizenship as the only requirement for candidates for president, governor, and Head of Government of Mexico City.

The new requirement, promoted by the federal government, will take effect in 2028 and stipulates that no president or governor may hold dual citizenship.

In this way, the country makes it clear that those with dual nationality who wish to run for the aforementioned positions must renounce their citizenship before formally registering with the Mexican electoral authorities.

Starting November 3, the ban on the use of cell phones and tablets in classes will take effect in Mexico. It applies to elementary and middle schools throughout the country.

According to authorities, the use of these devices will be authorized only in cases of emergencies or educational activities planned by the educational institutions.

The measure, proposed by the teachers’ union, seeks to combat the indiscriminate use of social media in favor of the psychological well-being of minors.

The decision, supported by Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, comes amid an international debate about the impact of “overexposure to technology on academic performance and children’s psychological well-being.”

In Mexico, the country has over 34 million students in its general education system, where the teachers’ decision will “curb the massive consumption of social media and hyperconnectivity within school premises.” Furthermore, it aims to “reestablish traditional methods of social interaction, promote psychomotor skills, and refocus on human interaction without the mediation of screens.”

Foreign Minister Carlos Espá emphasized that “the government of Peru respects the principles of international law, such as the aforementioned Caracas Convention, and always acts in the national interest.”

She emphasized that this process to resume bilateral relations is possible thanks to “ongoing coordination and communication with the Mexican Foreign Ministry” and thanked the Brazilian Foreign Ministry for its support, “which assumed representation of the interests of the Mexican Embassy in Peru after the rupture of diplomatic relations, as well as the professionalism of Peruvian diplomacy.”

The President of Peru, Keiko Fujimori, expressed her satisfaction with this step between the two countries and stated: “We are very pleased that Peru and Mexico have restored their diplomatic relations. We are sister nations, friends, with a long history of friendship.”

This Monday, July 27, during the daily press conference of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, a proposal from the authorities to regulate the use of social media and digital platforms by children and adolescents was announced.

The authorities did not refer to a ban but rather to controlling the excessive use of social media by minors, through cell phones and computers, considering that “it can have implications for the rest of their lives. And if it affects all children and all adolescents, then it has general implications for the development of the country.”

According to Sheinbaum, nearly 70 % of parents “agree that cell phone use should be regulated in schools.” In this regard, education authorities, along with other specialists, will discuss scientific evidence on the use of technology and its effect on minors.

For his part, Mexico’s Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, explained that “the discussion cannot be limited to schools, since a significant portion of the time children spend in front of screens occurs at home.”

Regarding the risks of the use of social media, video games, and online gambling, specialists have pointed out that excessive exposure in children generates a “much greater release of dopamine, but that in the long run, it causes the brain to reduce its production and decrease the sensitivity of receptors, which means that normal activities cease to be satisfying.”

On Friday, May 22, the Modernized Global Agreement between Mexico and the European Union was ratified. The document will allow for the immediate elimination of tariffs on 86 % of agricultural goods and their gradual elimination for other products.

The signing took place in Mexico with the participation of the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the president of the European Council, António Costa.

The agreement is finally a reality after years of negotiations “and signifies a new chapter in trade between the two regions, promising to open their markets through the reduction or elimination of tariffs.”

According to local sources, all quotas obtained by the EU under the International Trade Agreement (ITA) are tariff-free, “except for beef, for which the tariff will be phased out to zero seven years after the entry into force of the Modernized Global Agreement.”

It is important to clarify that a quota is a trade policy instrument “that establishes a maximum limit or amount for importing or exporting goods, generally with a preferential tariff, during a specific period.”

During her daily press conference on Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declared that her government will not participate in the construction of a wall on the northern border with the United States.

Sheinbaum said that under no circumstances will they finance the construction of more than 120 kilometers of wall on the common border. “We must build bridges and not walls,” the president added. For the Mexican president, “the best way to address the phenomenon is through investment and prioritizing a humane and effective solution to migration.”

In a different position to that of Donald Trump, President of the United States, the Mexican president insists on the need for mechanisms that allow strengthening “bilateral cooperation and commercial integration.” In this regard, he mentioned the recent inauguration of a railway bridge in the Mexican city of Nuevo Laredo (north) that connects the country with Canada through the United States.

Mexico could soon apply a reform to the Federal Labor Law to formalize and dignify the performance of app workers, such as Uber and Rappi, unionized under the National Union of Application Workers (UNTA).

According to this union, the proposal recently presented by Claudia Sheinbaum’s government will help reduce the job insecurity of more than 658,000 digital platform employees.

Sergio Guerrero, UNTA’s general secretary, stressed that the reform of the Federal Labor Law will allow progress towards social coverage for workers and the recognition of their labor rights, social security, and the implementation of legislative improvements, among other benefits.

This type of work is a reality in other countries, where those who work as delivery people or make transfers await their formal inclusion in the laws to obtain the corresponding benefits and protection.

Mexico will have a business advisory council, announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum, to promote private investment and regional development, as well as the geolocation of companies.

The president made the announcement after holding a private meeting with prominent members of the International Monetary Conference, “chaired by the global president of the BBVA group, Carlos Torres, and which is made up of multinational banks and financial services institutions from around the world.”

In the words of Sheinbaum, Mexico’s economic development “has to be reflected in the well-being of Mexican workers and not only in macroeconomic investment indicators.”

Key government authorities such as Luz Elena González, the next head of the Ministry of Energy, will also be part of this group.

Along with the announcement of the creation of the council, Sheinbaum “presented to businessmen the details of her development project for Mexico for the next six years, highlighting the creation of development poles and investment and infrastructure schemes.”

Sheinbaum also spoke about the national plans for Energy, Water, Professional and Technical Development, as well as Infrastructure “which includes the construction of roads, airports and new kilometers of passenger trains; in addition to the creation of the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency.”

Regarding housing and security, respectively, the president highlighted a plan to build one million decent homes and address the causes of crime and zero impunity.
