In today's news from Mexico, we have a mix of heartwarming and heartbreaking stories. Let's start with the heartwarming one: the IMSS (Mexican Institute of Social Security) has adopted a stray dog and given it a job! Yes, you read that right. This migrant dog, who was once wandering aimlessly on the streets, has now found a purpose in life. The IMSS has trained it to become a therapy dog for hospital patients. Now, that's something to wag your tail about!
Moving on to the more somber news, an attack at Morelia cemetery has left two people dead. The motives behind this violent act are not yet clear, but it's a tragic reminder of the ongoing security issues in certain parts of Mexico.
In other news, the Mexican peso has been gaining strength against the US dollar for the past three days. Currently, it's below 18 per dollar, which is good news for the Mexican economy. The Mexican government is also calling for the Child Protection System not to be abolished, as it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the rights and well-being of children in the country.
On a positive note, it's been 16 years since abortion was legalized in Mexico City, and maternal deaths from abortion are at 0%. This is a significant achievement for women's health and rights in the country.
However, there are still cases of violence and cruelty towards animals that make the news. A security guard in Pachuca was caught on video hanging and killing a dog, which is both disturbing and unacceptable.
In sports news, the COM (Mexican Olympic Committee) has announced a trust fund to support Mexican athletes towards Paris 2024. This is great news for aspiring athletes who may not have the financial resources to pursue their dreams.
Meanwhile, the Mexican government is set to create a decalogue to transform migration policy. This is a crucial step in addressing the ongoing migration crisis that Mexico is facing.
Finally, there are concerns about the health of President AMLO, with conflicting reports and rumors circulating in the media. His spokesman denies any health problems, but civil society groups are demanding accurate information. Regardless of political affiliations, his allies and opponents are wishing him a speedy recovery. After all, a healthy leader means a healthy country.
