Well,
Good morning.
Good morning.
It's already Friday, August 28.
Good morning to
all of you.
They're showing me the winners of México Canta. Well, today
we have with us again Luisa María Alcalde and Dr. Arturo
Saldívar,
because yesterday a question from you remained unresolved
about when a person could be a candidate
if they had an investigation file, an arrest warrant.
So they will present to be able to clarify any doubt related to
this. And the doubt comes, or rather the interpretation comes, that one thing is what
the Constitution and the laws say, and another is what the Supreme Court and the Electoral
Tribunal have been resolving. So Dr. Arturo Saldívar will explain it in full detail, and
Luisa is also here to make any other clarification. We'll start with that. Second, we have
Omar Reyes Colmenares. He is the head of the Financial Intelligence Unit.
He will tell us what the Financial Intelligence Unit has done, what it does, how the unit has been
strengthened, and particularly the García Luna case and the recovery of resources, which is a case that
had been worked on since Pablo Gómez was head of the UIF and that Omar
completes.
In fact, this work continues, but it completes in the sense that for the first
time resources are returned to the public treasury, and after he explains it, I will tell you what the proposal is
and what we are going to do with these resources.
So, first Dr. Arturo
Saldívar, Minister, and then Omar.
Go ahead.
Or were you going to comment on something?
No, no, no, no. All right. With your permission,
Madam President. I'm going to present the
Good morning to all of you. With your permission, Madam President. Next slide, please. We are going to make a presentation, as the President already indicated, of what the different circumstances are in which political-electoral rights are suspended or not
as a result of a criminal procedure or process. Because one thing is the text of the Constitution and the laws, but another is how the interpretation of both the Supreme Court and the Electoral Tribunal has been evolving, taking the presumption of innocence as the axis. Article 38 of the Constitution establishes that political-electoral rights are suspended
for being in pretrial detention, for serving a custodial sentence, because their rights were suspended in a sentence even though they are free, for being a fugitive from justice, and for having a conviction for any of the offenses listed in fraction eight of Article 38, such as offenses against life and bodily integrity, sexual offenses or against the free development of personality, family violence, political gender-based violence, and for being a child support debtor. Next slide.
In a criminal procedure or process, we have to look at each of the stages and how they have been interpreted by both the Supreme Court and the Electoral Tribunal. This is a general guide, but we have to analyze, as we said yesterday, case by case, because these are not rules that are applied directly, immediately, and in all cases. The first circumstance: if someone is reported or investigated, obviously they can be a candidate, because this does not imply the loss of their rights in light of the presumption of innocence.
If someone is charged, this status is already being generated. This also does not imply the loss of rights. They can be a candidate under the presumption of innocence. Then we have the linking to a proceeding, and here there are two circumstances. The first is that the precautionary measure of pretrial detention has been imposed. And in this case, Article 38 of the Constitution, fraction two, clearly establishes that political-electoral rights are suspended because the person is in pretrial detention for an offense punishable by custodial imprisonment, and therefore cannot be a candidate. But what happens if they are free? A person is linked to a proceeding, they will be tried, but they are free. In this case, the Electoral Tribunal has held that they can indeed be a candidate, precisely under the presumption of innocence.
And the circumstance of fraction five of Article 38, which was the subject of a question yesterday. We said yesterday that the mere issuance of an arrest warrant does not imply the suspension of political-electoral rights. Article 38 does not speak of the arrest warrant; it speaks of a person being a fugitive from justice, and for that two elements are required: a normative element, which is that an arrest warrant has been issued, and second, a material element, that this person has evaded the action of justice, that there is evidence that they have been sought, that they have been wanted to be located, that they have been wanted to be detained, and that this has not been possible. So both elements are required. This is a jurisprudence that the Supreme Court established at first and that the Electoral Tribunal has since been reiterating. Next slide.
We now move on to the next circumstance of a process. It is no longer someone who is being investigated, charged, linked to a proceeding. The process has concluded and we have a conviction, a sentence establishing that a person has committed an offense and a sanction is imposed. First, if they are in prison, any offense suspends their rights while they are serving this custodial sentence. But what happens if we have a sentence that leaves them free? Here we have to consider two circumstances. First, when this sentence
generates an express suspension of rights. And here we have to be careful: the Electoral Tribunal has established that it is not enough for a judge or a court to suspend a person's political rights, but this conviction has to be autonomous from the principal conviction for the offense. What does this mean? That there have to be specific reasons argued by the judge as to why, in this concrete case, political rights are suspended. Next, when it concerns a child support debtor, offenses against life or integrity, sexual offenses or against the free development of personality, family violence or political gender-based violence. In these cases, even if they are free, their political-electoral rights will be suspended and they cannot be a candidate. And finally, if they have been convicted
of an offense, but we are not in the previous circumstances and there is no sanction of loss of political rights, they can be a candidate. And I reiterate, if there is a sanction of loss of political rights, this is reviewable by the Electoral Tribunal to analyze whether it was issued autonomously from the principal conviction or whether it was simply made as a consequence. In this way, in accordance with the Constitution, the electoral laws, and the jurisdictional evolution of the Supreme Court and the Electoral Tribunal, we could generate these general premises, but they have to be analyzed in each case to determine whether one of these hypotheses applies. But I believe that this table allows us to resolve practically any issue to decide whether someone is eligible or not. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Minister.
Well, let's go, Omar.
Thank you. Good morning to all of you. With your permission. Madam President, I would like to begin my presentation with the next slide, indicating that the Financial Intelligence Unit is responsible for detecting unusual financial operations, analyzing the information, and generating financial intelligence.
Based on this analysis, people and structures that represent a risk to the financial system are identified, and when the corresponding elements exist, these subjects are added to the list of blocked persons in order to immobilize these resources. This work is carried out in close coordination with the institutions that make up the Security Cabinet. During the administration of the President of Mexico, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, 2,395 subjects have been added to the list of blocked persons and 24,622 accounts have been immobilized for a total amount of 8,670 million pesos.
With these actions, the economic structure of criminal organizations is weakened, the use of the financial system for illicit activities is prevented, and institutional and inter-institutional coordination is strengthened.
Next slide, please. Of the total of 24,622 immobilized accounts, 7,861 correspond to members of criminal organizations with the greatest presence and incidence in this country. This represents 31.9% of the total blocked accounts, that is, practically one in three immobilized accounts is linked to criminal groups.
These actions have a presence in practically the entire national territory. The entities with the highest number of immobilized accounts are Mexico City with 2,300, Jalisco with 1,185, Nuevo León with 95, Sinaloa with 723, and Baja California with 356 accounts. This reflects the coordinated work of the Financial Intelligence Unit with the Security Cabinet to identify and affect the financial structures of criminal organizations.
Next slide, please.
Within the framework of the national strategy against extortion implemented since July 6, 2025, the Financial Intelligence Unit actively participates in combating this crime, which directly affects the assets and peace of mind of people, families, and businesses, in addition to causing damage to economic activity.
From the financial sphere, the Financial Intelligence Unit contributes to identifying the accounts, people, and structures used to receive, move, and dispose of the resources obtained through extortion, with the aim of affecting the economic capacity of those who participate in this crime and preventing the financial system from being used to move resources of illicit origin.
In this way, financial intelligence complements security actions and contributes to protecting the assets of the citizenry. As a result of these actions, 1,443 accounts have been immobilized for being related to investigations into the crime of extortion, which represents 5.9% of the total immobilized accounts. In other words, approximately one in every seventeen immobilized accounts is linked to investigations into this crime.
Next slide, please.
To achieve these results, during this administration we have worked to strengthen financial intelligence capabilities and expand national and international coordination.
First, the participation of the Financial Intelligence Unit in the Security Cabinet has allowed criminal structures and strategic cases to be prioritized through permanent coordination with the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of the Navy, the National Guard, the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, the Attorney General's Office, the Criminal Investigation Agency, the National Intelligence Center, in addition to working with the state entities.
In addition, the UIF chairs the money laundering prevention table with all the institutions that make up the Security Cabinet. On the international level, we have reinforced the exchange of financial intelligence through the Egmont Group, as well as the relationship with FinCEN and OFAC and other international bodies.
We have also increased interaction with financial institutions and with the Mexican Bankers Association to achieve timely information exchange that allows early detection and prevention of money laundering.
Finally, progress has been made in updating the Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Operations with Resources of Illicit Origin, its regulations, and the general rules. All of this allows financial information to be transformed into prevention, operational intelligence, and concrete actions against the financial structures of criminal organizations.
Next slide, please.
Regarding the García Luna case, it is an example of the reach of financial intelligence and inter-institutional coordination. It is the case linked to Genaro García Luna. Between 2008 and 2018, a scheme was identified related to the diversion of public resources and operations with resources of illicit origin, based on contracts signed between the then decentralized administrative body for prevention and social rehabilitation and linked companies, for more than 403 million dollars.
The scheme involved the alleged simulation of service provision, the coordinated participation of public officials and private individuals, and the use of front companies, among them NBAC. Based on the analysis of financial flows, the Financial Intelligence Unit filed a criminal complaint with the Attorney General's Office in December 2019 and later a civil lawsuit in Florida.
In September 2021, this complaint was concluded in Florida, United States. The case advanced through coordination between the UIF, the Attorney General's Office, the SAT, and the National Banking and Securities Commission, as well as through international legal assistance with Panama, Spain, the United States, and El Salvador. In 2026, a final judgment was obtained in the Weber case in a Florida court for an amount of approximately 578.5 million dollars.
Next slide, please.
The financial analysis allowed the network used for the diversion, triangulation, and movement of resources to be reconstructed. Between 2015 and 2017, Genaro García Luna funded the conglomerate of companies with more than 305 million pesos and 27.8 million dollars. According to the information presented in the scheme, the Weber family played a relevant role by being part of the corporate structure linked to García Luna. It is linked to a network of front companies benefited with 30 government contracts at inflated prices, in exchange for economic remuneration or other benefits.
With the overpricing in these contracts, the Weber family fulfilled three functions simultaneously. They disguised the bribes as an ordinary commercial payment, simulated the materiality of the contracts, and maximized the volume of public resources that could be extracted.
After being dispersed through Barbados to other jurisdictions such as Miami, Florida in the United States, among others, through operations between companies and accounts related to García Luna. In total, the scheme presented identifies approximately 528 million pesos and 727.9 million dollars in diverted resources.
What is relevant about this case is that the financial intelligence analysis allowed the money trail to be followed, the network of people and companies involved to be identified, and elements to be provided for the legal actions aimed at recovering the assets.
Next slide, please.
Finally, these financial intelligence and legal tracking actions have translated into concrete results for the recovery of assets in favor of the Mexican State.
The UIF filed a civil lawsuit before the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court in Miami-Dade, Florida, to recover the diverted assets, where the legitimacy of the Mexican State to litigate the case was recognized, and on May 19, 2026, a judgment was issued in favor of the Mexican State against the Weber family for their participation in the illicit scheme of public contracts linked to Genaro García Luna.
As a result of this process, on August 25, 2026, the Mexican State received 5,805,693.50 derived from the recovery of a bond policy and the liquidation of 12 properties located in Florida, United States, linked to the Weber family.
The receipt of these resources in the Treasury of the Federation was carried out through the management of the Financial Intelligence Unit, and it is worth noting that the liquidation of other assets in favor of the Mexican State is still pending.
Thank you very much.
Go ahead. Let's go to the questions.
On this topic.
Let's see, the colleague here.
Good morning, Madam President. Perla Velázquez from Canal 22. All this network they present to us and what we just saw about the Genaro García Luna case and the Weber family also makes us see that we are reaching a kind of social justice, right? Justice after everything we have witnessed, and because this figure from Felipe Calderón's administration obviously still has a lot to answer for. So, in that sense, what does this represent and what to do with this recovered money? And the big question that also leads us is, does it make us think that if Genaro García Luna really operated alone, what the UIF is presenting right now is illicit activities by Genaro García Luna after he was Secretary of Public Security?
He was Secretary of Public Security from 2006 to 2012. He is imprisoned in the United States for links to criminal organizations, in particular a criminal organization, the Sinaloa Cartel in particular, in the United States. The investigation in the United States did not include García Luna's activities after he left the Secretary of Public Security position. So, at this moment he is detained, imprisoned for his activities as Secretary of Public Security and for testimonies indicating that he was linked to, protected, and had received resources from a criminal organization, from organized crime.
Now, what happened after he was Secretary of Public Security? He dedicated himself to shady businesses, with a company that, according to these, or various companies that according to these provided security-related equipment, but in reality they were frauds against the public treasury, contracts that in reality never delivered what they had to deliver, or exaggerated prices through this network. Put it up again that the UIF investigated.
So, this has to do with García Luna's activities after he was Secretary of Security, when he dedicated himself to corrupt businesses, in short words. So, the UIF, under President López Obrador in 2019, began an investigation, filed a criminal complaint, and later in the United States decided to file a civil lawsuit so that at least the businesses he did with this Weber family could return the resources to the public treasury.
So, of all the resources, which are 528 million pesos and 727 million dollars, it's not that they are physically in an account, but it is estimated that the fraud, corruption, bribery, everything that this network of contracts with high costs or fraudulent contracts meant, was of that size. Equipment was contracted, the equipment never arrived, but it was paid for, or equipment that cost 10 pesos was contracted for 100 pesos. So this money is the estimate of all the frauds committed from 2012 to 2018.
So far, what has been able to be recovered. Go ahead. That is, that civil lawsuit was won and so far 5.8 million dollars have been recovered. Our objective is that this resource be dedicated to schools in the mountains of Guerrero. We are already working so that we can explain secondary and higher education in the mountains of Guerrero, and basic education is also needed. It's around 100 million pesos that will be dedicated to the areas of greatest need in the country. So, this is what has been recovered. This morning I was asking Omar, I don't know if you want to explain, whether more can be recovered.
Thank you very much. Indeed, as the Madam President commented, we continue a continuous work with the other agencies of the Mexican State, with the aim of identifying more properties or accounts of the Weber family that could be anywhere in the world and being able to seize them and sell them so that the money becomes the property of the Mexican State. We are still continuing with that. We have some identified that we will announce shortly when we manage to sell these properties.
And also on this topic, Madam President, for the governments of the Fourth Transformation, what does this follow-up and this blow against corruption mean for you?
First, to show the hypocrisy of those who at the time defended García Luna and who now don't want to talk about it. Look, it's not only the crimes he committed for his links to criminal groups when he was in charge of the war against drugs, or the supposed war against drugs of Felipe Calderón, but afterwards, when he dedicated himself to corrupt businesses.
So, whose part was this figure? Which government's? Why is that not talked about? Why don't they talk about that anymore? Because they do accuse now of a supposed narco-government, but there you see their hypocrisy, because in reality this is absolutely demonstrated.
Well, we are going to continue in this case and in others, but particularly this case that began 7 years ago and that today has its first results.
On cultural matters, Madam President, and since you mentioned that you had the names of México Canta, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you, did you watch the semifinal that took place last weekend? This weekend the semifinal of México will be held in Mazatlán. Is there any message you'd like to send to all these young people? Because as we've seen, México Canta is a platform that accompanies young people and shows the richness and greatness of Mexico as well.
México Canta has two objectives, one or three. One, the bond between young people of Mexican origin, first, second, or third generation, who live in the United States and the young people who live in Mexico. That is the first, and to show that brotherhood that exists through our families, but that is shown through a cultural expression, which is music.
The second is to guide music narratives so that they don't have to do with violence, drug addiction, or addictions, but with many other themes that have to do with love, heartbreak, love for the homeland, the recognition of Mexico, with stories of each of those who sing or stories of different places in our country. So, to recover Mexican music through these new lyrical themes that don't have to do with violence.
And the third, also to promote the music industry so that it can develop in Mexico, because incredibly, a large production of Mexican music is in the United States. Producers of Mexican music are in the United States, and we want it to also be promoted in Mexico through the Mexican Music Council. So, those are the three objectives. Last weekend I didn't have the opportunity to watch it, but I did see a video that Claudia Curiel sent me of the finalists, she doesn't want to expose them.
And this weekend, indeed, it's in Mazatlán, the final of the young Mexicans.
México Canta calls on us and invites us to celebrate our identity through music.
The first semifinalist is Tiffany.
I already lost you.
I'm not alone because I still have myself.
So, thank you very much for contributing to my dream, and we will continue representing Mexico with everything.
Our next semifinalist is Joshua Soto.
If I am that fool who lost you.
First of all, thank you all for supporting me, for giving me this opportunity to be one of the finalists on September 13 at the National Auditorium. Thank you very much.
And last but not least, Rosalva, I've said this, I don't forgive you. I don't come back, and when I come back I'm a treasure, how sorry I am, but I already have a list with prospects.
This means another step closer to reaching bigger stages, more stages, more people, more audience. Here your story begins, and we will continue cheering you on. We want to keep listening to your music, beautiful young people.
I think 300,000 people voted.
Well, let's go.
Thank you, Madam President.
What else? Who else? Who else? Who else? Let's see, the colleague there.
Good morning, Eduardo Esquivel Ancona, Domo de Cristal. My first question is how the Financial Intelligence Unit can access, well, prevent money laundering through things that are no longer banking-related, like cryptocurrencies and these new uses that organized crime has for laundering money.
Thank you very much. Regarding the topic of crypto-assets, we have a specialized area dedicated to investigating this type of transfers, which for the most part are international, but we also have information exchange agreements with the largest companies dedicated to crypto-assets in Mexico to obtain that information. We even work with the Attorney General's Office in coordination so that they carry out these investigations of what we manage to identify when money is converted into crypto-assets. We report to the Attorney General's Office, and it is also a vulnerable risk activity, and the companies also report to us, just as the banks do, when they identify these companies where a Mexican or foreign person is transacting with cryptocurrencies and breaks the transactional profile, they inform us immediately, and we begin our analysis work. And if we identify any risk typology, we file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office so that they carry out the investigation, and we cooperate as any other authority with the Federal Public Ministry.
A second question, Madam President. Today or yesterday, the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Intelligence Unit, and Pemex signed an agreement to prevent fuel smuggling and to stop these mafias and their money laundering. Couldn't this also be done on the southern border, where there is sugar smuggling, what they wrongly call 'sugar huachicol', which is affecting producers, mills, and sugarcane growers? Couldn't this so-called 'fiscal huachicol', which is nothing other than technical smuggling, be prevented? It's been many years that the right has claimed it's a new crime. So I would like to know if this technical smuggling and the money laundering that the mafias do by bringing this sugar into Mexico illegally could also be prevented.
Regarding the agreement we signed with Pemex, it is indeed so that Pemex can have access to information they require from us, when they want to verify any company that wants to contract with Petróleos Mexicanos, or so that we can have access to information from Petróleos Mexicanos to identify any risk that could put in doubt the credibility of Petróleos Mexicanos. And regarding sugar, we have an agreement signed with customs, with which we have been working for some time, carrying out intelligence actions and sharing information with the aim of identifying these structures that are smuggling sugar from abroad and some also within the country. But we already have very advanced work, and customs has obtained results from this information exchange regarding the topic of sugar smuggling as well. But we continue working, and we also work with the trade associations for information exchange.
And a final question, Madam President, what can be done because we've been investigating for money laundering, and a lot of effort is being made by the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Intelligence Unit, but then it gets stuck at the Attorney General's Office because there is no final judgment on these accusations and lawsuits. They take a long time, and then the opportunity is lost.
The Attorney General's Office has worked a lot, both on fuel smuggling, where there have been many arrests. Recently they carried out an operation, which is the first time it's been done against invoice companies, that is, companies that issue, that create companies that don't really have activities, they are ghost companies, let's say.
The SAT also has several areas that prevent this from happening, but sometimes it still occurs. They create a company and then shut it down in 5 days, and then they create another one. The SAT has set limits for the Federal Taxpayer Registry for these companies to grant registrations, but in some cases it still occurs, or they are formal companies that issue invoices when in reality they are not carrying out any commercial activity, they just simulate it.
So, recently the Attorney General's Office carried out an operation where they did, what's it called, when they close a, excuse me, a raid, a raid of different companies operating in Jalisco as invoice companies, and they continue carrying out the investigations, and there are many detainees from these raids that were carried out. Sometimes the Attorney General's Office doesn't report all the work they do, but the truth is, Ernestina is first-rate, and her entire team, and they are working at full speed on all the illicit activities committed in the country.
I thank you very much.
Thank you.
Let's see, Carlos, it's been a long time since you asked a question.
Good morning to all of you. Carlos Navarro, Herald Media Group. Madam President, I'd like to ask, besides this case, whether the UIF and the Mexican authorities have similar cases looking for assets in other countries.
Thank you. Financial intelligence through the Egmont Group and other groups, both at the Latin American, Central American, and North American levels. We have a continuous information exchange to identify these criminal organizations, the crime of operations with resources of illicit origin, known as money laundering. For the most part, it is always a transnational crime because of the mobility of resources, and they try to take them out of the country. That is why the coordination we have with authorities not only from the United States but also from Europe is necessary. And we have an exchange through this secure platform of the Egmont Group, and many times with the embassies that have a presence in Mexico, we have meetings with them for information exchange and to establish some joint working mechanisms. When we identify any resource that left the country, we work in a coordinated manner with the Attorney General's Office, which helps us a lot in the topic of asset recovery outside the country.
How can we dimension that work in assets, in accounts outside the country?
No, we wouldn't have an exact figure at this moment because the banking authorities of each jurisdiction are the ones who inform us when the information is required by the Attorney General's Office. Let's not forget that the information received by the Financial Intelligence Unit is in the nature of intelligence, and then we have to carry it through a process together with the Attorney General's Office to be able to obtain it officially.
Thank you, Madam President. How important is the work of the UIF in the security strategy of your government?
Well, very important. Remember that it was always said, to attack or combat or reduce crime, you have to follow the money trail. Because when a drug is sold, when an extortion offense is committed, for example, when there is illegal entry of fuel, when a car is stolen and sold, well, all of that is monetary transactions.
Many times they are done in cash, but many other times not, because of the amount of resources that means. How is it done if there are many rules in Mexico about the amount of cash deposits? Well, what they do is create these front companies in Mexico and in other parts of the world, and transactions are made through these front companies.
So, money laundering is a very important area to be able to reduce crime in Mexico, because that is where the money from a group's illicit activities goes. So, the UIF has been strengthened, even with personnel and equipment, and a very coordinated work is being done for organized crime offenses or white-collar offenses or activities related to corruption.
So the work is done in a very professional manner, and there is a lot of coordination with the Attorney General's Office, in some cases with state Attorney General's Offices, and for example with the Anti-Corruption Secretariat, the UIF also has a lot of relationship. So it is permanently first preventing any activity, and second, once there is a presumption of an offense, it is judicialized.
Thank you. On another topic, Madam President, according to INEGI, eight out of 10 minors...
That's why we say, for example, in the United States, the drug that is sold in the United States, because more drugs are sold there than here. So, that money from drug sales, where is it? Over there. Well, we say, just as we investigate money laundering related to drug trafficking here, in the same way they should investigate the same thing about drug trafficking over there, about the sale of narcotics over there, and we coordinate, but action has to be taken on both sides of the border.
Thank you. On another topic, according to INEGI, eight out of 10 minors have access to a cell phone. Yesterday you spoke out about restricting the use of cell phones in schools. At what point, as a society, did we replace social interaction and teaching with the cell phone? Madam President, at what point was it replaced?
At what point? I mean, how did it happen? I think it has been a process. I mean, at first, remember that the schools that had everything electronic and that sent homework by email through a platform, well, it was the most modern thing. And well, if you brought your cell phone and you could research right there, or while class was going on, well, it was ultra-novel, innovative.
Then the platforms kept evolving. This scrolling thing, I don't know how many years it has, but it has very few. I mean, TikTok, where you can change the screen infinitely, right? You could spend your whole life changing the screen and it keeps changing the screen. First it started on TikTok, and then because TikTok had so much use, mainly by young people, it started on all the platforms, and now all the platforms have infinite scrolling.
So, technology has been advancing, and with it, the impacts of using that technology have also been recognized. Some designed on purpose with that objective, and some not. I mean, people who worked in the various digital platforms came and said, and that is part of the lawsuit that was won in the United States, that the platforms design their algorithms to generate addiction, so that you can't move away from the screen.
So, from the design to the development, there are now lawsuits already won in the United States that in effect cause harm to the health of girls and boys. It is already recognized by a judge in the United States, so much so that one of the platforms, Meta, decided, as a result of this lawsuit, to change the mechanisms of how it promotes and at the same time to guide that it be used only for certain hours.
Now, most of many countries have gone back to pen and paper. That is, in school, don't use the devices anymore, because it turns out that using pen and paper develops your psychomotor activities or your psychomotor capacities. Why? Because you are using your mind, you are using your hand, you are developing activities. So, we are going back to what seemed old. That is the truth. We are going back to not using cell phones during recess and to playing the way we used to play in those times.
So, that is what we want to do, that at least in schools digital devices are not used, neither by teachers nor by students. And at home, well, the platforms should also have their control mechanisms, and mothers and fathers should know the impacts that using digital devices or cell phones can have, well, in an uninterrupted manner.
Madam President, the technical councils that gave their opinion on this situation, the results will be presented in September, in a few weeks. Will the measures be implemented immediately, gradually, whatever the result?
We are going to wait to see how the CP sees it and what the teachers say, how to do it, and from there, teachers and from there we will communicate it.
Madam President, after 2 months of losses, INEGI reports that 670,000 jobs were created in June. What can we attribute this result to?
We are doing well. Remember that the whole world has had economic impacts derived from the new trade policy of the United States. The whole world, some countries more than others, but the whole world has had impacts, and Mexico too. Well, before, our main export asset was vehicles. Now with the tariff the United States imposed, vehicle exports have decreased. So, that has its impact. That is why we want to reach an agreement with the United States, which we have been promoting for a long time, to be able to guarantee vehicle production in Mexico for the domestic market and for export, in coordination with policies in the United States, because ultimately our companies are coordinated. In fact, most of the companies, or all of the companies, are American, or Japanese, or Korean, the ones in Mexico, or European, mainly from Germany. So, it has had an impact...
the commercial policy of the United States around the world, but we made the decision to follow what we call the Mexico Plan, which is to strengthen the internal market and national production in different areas, and at the same time to strengthen infrastructure and public works through various financing mechanisms. So, facing this situation, what do we do? Well, strengthen public investment with mixed resources or with public resources directly. And facilitate private investment in Mexico through the well-being poles and other incentives. So I said that the second half of this year will be better than the first half, and I am sure it will be, because many public works are being developed.
