The National Palace coffee machine was bubbling hot on this Tuesday morning, dispensing more than just caffeine. President López Obrador, affectionately known as AMLO, served up a potent blend of updates, pronouncements, and, of course, a dash of his signature fiery rhetoric.
From Zero Impunity to Heroin Hits: The morning began with a splash of justice, with authorities exposing judges allegedly favoring criminals in the Ayotzinapa case. This was followed by a security report showcasing the seizure of kilos of narcotics and the ongoing hunt for eight Colombian women. The air crackled with a sense of progress, even as the hunt for the perpetrators behind the tragic disappearance of community leaders in Colima remained a grim reminder of ongoing challenges.
