Mexican President delivers fifth government management report
September 1|
As mandated by the Constitution, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presents this Friday a report on his actions for the year, the progress made by his government, as well as his future projects.
As a novelty this year, the president did not go to the Palace of San Lazaro (seat of the Legislative) to present it, but rather from Campeche, where as part of the advances in the Mayan Train project, Lopez Obrador will get on this means of transportation for the first time, in order to supervise the carriage that arrived to the southeast this month.
Since it is one of the emblematic works of his government, he intends his message to be significant by giving it from Campeche.
.
According to the president, he decided “to deliver this report from Campeche because it is one of the towns and states that have contributed the most to national development”.
López Obrador emphasized that the key to Mexico’s economic growth was not allowing corruption, as well as the increase in the minimum wage and the sending of remittances from Mexicans abroad.
In this sense, he pointed out: “The key is not to allow corruption, it seems something elementary and even simple, but progress with justice in our country depends on it, nothing had damaged Mexico more than the dishonesty of the rulers, that is what the government’s success has consisted of”.
He also pointed out that the policy of Mexican humanism is effective and highlighted the increase in the minimum wage.
He also stated that “it is false that if those at the top do well, those at the bottom will necessarily do well”. He said, in this sense, that “our alternative project is based on the opposite in attending to the base of the social pyramid and this is what is generating better income for families”.
According to the president, Mexico is the country with the third lowest unemployment in the world and the economy increased 3 percent since the last report, a year ago.
López Obrador highlighted that now young people who were previously classified as “ninis” were not offered the possibility of working, but with social programs, they are now allowed to become apprentices in workshops, restaurants, companies and other activities.
In this sense, he pointed out that “While they are being trained, they receive the equivalent of a minimum wage, plus medical service in the social security system. As of today, 2,643,000 boys and girls have been trained (…) Do you know how much has been invested since we arrived until today, only in this program, 14 times more than all that was destined to young people in the six previous six-year terms”.
Regarding the judicial reform he has proposed and which he announced he will soon present, the President argued: “It is indispensable and urgent that judges, magistrates and ministers be directly elected by the people and not appointed by the elite of Mexico’s economic and political power”.
Further on, he praised the work of educators and pointed out that “The more the economy grows and salaries increase in general, teachers’ salaries must also increase” and regarding health, particularly the supply of medicines, he announced that “In two or three more months we will have a pharmacy where all the medicines in the world will be kept, there will be no shortage of them”.
In relation to the controversy over the new textbooks, the president said “They have scientific foundations and a humanist dimension” and thanked that the majority, “30 out of 32 governors, governors, supported the decision to deliver the free textbooks”.
He ratified that “the Mayan Train will be inaugurated in December, there will be 20 stations, 14 stops, towns will be connected, passengers and national and foreign tourists will be transported quickly through five states”.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
