In the years of the previous administration, Andrés Manuel López Obrador He almost doubled the country’s debt to finance his pharaonic works and clientelistic programs, now converted into constitutional social programs.
With the weight of the debt (almost 18 billion pesos), the Government of Claudia Sheinbaum He requested that Congress authorize a debt of 1.8 billion pesos for next year, of which 1.6 billion pesos will be to pay only the interests of inherited debt.
It is true that this includes the 10 billion pesos that he left as a debt balance Enrique Peña Nieto, plus an amount close to or equal to the end of 2025.
What stands out here is the fact that López Obrador swore and perjured that “he was not going to put the country in debt” and in six years he acquired the total debt from Fox to Peña.
The problem is for President Sheinbaum and her Secretary of the Treasury, who juggle so that their assets and duties balance, even if it is by raising the tax on soft drinks.

Well, the Secretary of Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, wanted, as it is popularly said, to “sleep at night” with his early announcement of an agreement with the corn producers that was never accepted.
Yesterday, Bajío experienced the consequences of the disagreement; tens of thousands of vehicles stopped due to the blockade of highways and roads in Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, Sinaloa.
Yesterday afternoon, after more than 24 hours of blockades, the producers opened a lane to traffic as a sign of “good will” while waiting for the government to accept a guaranteed price of 7,200 pesos per ton, something that seems very complicated.

Citizens applauded the operation carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Mexico last Friday, which concluded with the closure of almost 200 wells from which water was extracted criminally.
Dozens of these wells are in the hands of criminal groups from Ecatepec, Texcoco, Chimalhuacán and other areas of eastern Mexico, so the action was well received.
Peeero, of course the piperos beneficiaries of the call aguachicol They weren’t going to let themselves be taken out of business just like that.
Last Monday they closed the access roads to CDMX for almost 8 hours; The blackmail worked for them.
Yesterday the authorities of Texcoco, the municipality where the governor is originally from Delfina Gomez, He agreed to take a “pause,” that is, to remove the seals that the state prosecutor’s office had placed on some of those wells, so that the pipers could continue working.
The authority did not have that (authority) to impose itself and returned the business of the aguachicol to the gangs that have taken advantage of the needs of the population until they became a sign.
The deal also includes a “verification” of the legal status of each well, but after the withdrawal, that will not be done and if it is done, it will no longer matter.
What or who bent Delfina’s hand?
