The Dialogues for Transformation, proposed by the sole pre-candidate of the ruling coalition Sigamos Haciendo Historia (Morena, PT and PVEM), Claudia Sheinbaum, will be carried out by a group that was presented this Sunday by the Mexican politician.

The series of dialogues with various sectors and society, aimed at developing the government program and development plan, which will be carried out in 17 forums with prominent members of civil society will be coordinated by the former rector of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Juan Ramón de la Fuente.

“I have decided to invite very diverse personalities. The idea is that they will coordinate these dialogues on different topics. So that there is no confusion, it is just about the working tables, the dialogues, which are going to allow building from plural, diverse opinions, the government program and the development plan”, expressed Sheinbaum.

The team will be integrated by the former governor of Chihuahua, Javier Corral; the former deputy governor of the Bank of Mexico Gerardo Esquivel; former secretary of Citizen Security of the capital, Omar García Harfuch; the businesswoman Altagracia Gómez; as well as the senator for Oaxaca Susana Harp.

Likewise, the energy sector researcher Jorge Islas Samperio; the 2016 National Science Award and former president of the National Academy of Medicine, David Kershenobich; the historian Lorenzo Meyer; the poet Irma Pineda, and the former Secretary of Education in Mexico City, Rosaura Ruiz.

“We have before us a noble cause and a historic opportunity: to consolidate the transformation of the country and to do so in an increasingly inclusive, open manner and with a profound democratic and dialogic conviction,” referred De la Fuente.

Sheinbaum leads the polls of electoral preference for the general elections to be held on the first Sunday of June 2024.

The suspect fled and remains at large, while the motive behind the shooting is still unclear, German media reported. Authorities have launched a large-scale search operation.

U.S. counterterrorism chief resigns over opposition to war in Iran

Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced Tuesday that he has resigned from his post, citing his opposition to the ongoing war in Iran.

In a post on X, Kent said he could not, “in good conscience,” support the conflict, arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. He also claimed that the war was driven by pressure from Israel and its lobbying influence in Washington.

In a resignation letter addressed to Donald Trump, Kent alleged that at the start of the current administration, senior Israeli officials and influential figures in U.S. media carried out a disinformation campaign that undermined the “America First” platform and fostered pro-war sentiment aimed at triggering a conflict with Iran.

Kent further stated that he could not support sending a new generation of Americans to “fight and die in a war that provides no benefit to the American people and does not justify the cost in American lives.”

Since the United States and Israel launched attacks against Iran on February 28, at least 13 U.S. service members have been killed, while 10 others have been seriously wounded and around 200 have sustained minor injuries, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.

German president warns Iran war could spread and disrupt Strait of Hormuz

The president of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, warned Monday that the war involving Iran could expand and further disrupt shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. He urged a swift end to hostilities between Iran, United States and Israel.

Speaking in Panama City during a joint appearance with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino, Steinmeier said available information suggests Iran has significant capacity to disrupt maritime traffic through the key oil route.

“Iran has considerable potential to interfere with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz,” Steinmeier said through an interpreter. “We should therefore reach an end to the hostilities as soon as possible and call on all parties involved to make that happen.”

The remarks came during Steinmeier’s visit to Panama, the first by a German president to the Central American nation.

The German leader described the possibility of the conflict spreading as “very dangerous,” saying recent developments indicate that such a scenario cannot be ruled out.

Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump urged allied nations to help ensure safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran moved to block the waterway in response to U.S. strikes. However, several allies—particularly in Europe—have shown little support for the proposal.

“Some are very enthusiastic, others are not, and some are countries we have helped for many years,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We have protected them from terrible external threats, and they’re not that enthusiastic. And the level of enthusiasm is important to me.”

Meanwhile, Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s top diplomat, said the Strait of Hormuz falls “outside NATO’s scope” and stressed that “the war involving Iran is not Europe’s war.”
