International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Citlalli Hernández, Minister of the National Institute for Women, introduced the campaign #EsTiempoDeMujeresSinViolencia. The initiative aims to "build a nation where both men and women can live free from violence, while also fostering the transformation of everyday behaviors that may seem normal but are part of a broader pattern of violence," said Hernández.

In 2023, Mexico recorded 852 femicides, an average of one every 10 hours. To help women live free from violence, President Claudia Sheinbaum reformed Art. 4, which enhances the state's responsibility to protect women. She also reformed Art. 21 and Art. 73 to operate public security with a gender-sensitive approach, and Art. 116 so a gender perspective would guide the actions of judges in the performance of their duties, positions, or commissions.

Judicial Reform. Arturo Zaldívar, Coordinator, Policy and Government, expressed his gratitude to the 18,447 individuals who registered on the Executive Power’s website to participate in the 2025 Judicial Power elections. He announced that the next step would be to assess who meets the requirements for each role. "The registration of individuals to join the Judicial Power was a remarkable success, unprecedented and historic," said Sheinbaum.

According to government data, there were: 480 candidates for ministers, 33 for magistrates of the disciplinary court, 77 for magistrates of the Superior Chamber, 388 for magistrates of regional courts, 5,192 for circuit judges, and 10,599 for District Judges of the Federal Judicial Power. Additionally, 1,378 registrations were found to contain errors.

Impact of Donald Trump’s Reelection on Oil Prices. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the Ministry of Finance has a plan in case Donald Trump's return impacts oil prices. "The Ministry of Finance has factored this into its planning; increasing oil production is not an immediate undertaking. Potential risks have been considered, and a significant decline in oil prices is not anticipated in the short term," said Sheimbaum.

According to Citi, Donald Trump will exert pressure on oil prices through 2025, with Brent crude expected to average US$60/b due to the potential trade tariffs. Citi also indicated that Trump's influence on OPEC+ could expedite the reduction of production cuts, which could alleviate geopolitical tensions and lead to a greater supply of oil in the market.
