Who is Blocking Mexicans’ Right to Food?
A Mexican food law which would exclude corporations from participating in decision-making is dying from neglect: the government has stalled on implementing it for the past two years.

Remarks delivered by the Mexican President in Spain on Saturday, April 18th.
It’s evident that changing the current energy matrix cannot be limited to the hypothetical use of fracking , but must also explore the potential of solar plants, wind farms (onshore and offshore), geothermal energy, and other renewable sources, as well as neglected nuclear energy.
The use of fracking in Mexico will not guarantee energy sovereignty and will not lead us to a just energy transition.
The state’s unwillingness to deal with criminality & union-busting at Camino Rojo means the Canadian corporation Orla Mining is laughing all the way to the bank, along with its drug-trafficking cronies who protect its interests at gunpoint.
Mexico’s tax burden, equivalent to 17.7% of GDP, is below even the regional average, and has the lowest tax revenue among all OECD members; while billionaires hold a combined fortune of nearly US$300 billion.
Heberto Castillo urged the Mexican left to look to our own history and find in it the answers for the transformation of Mexico, writes Martí Batres.
What special privilege do mining corporations (both national and foreign) enjoy in Mexico, where they get away with everything, even in these times when the law is supposed to be applied equally without exception?
If it is confirmed that the Canadian mining company hired criminals to persecute its workers, the sanction cannot be limited to an administrative procedure, as this would allow companies to normalize fines as just another operating cost.
The government must abandon its policy of fiscal austerity and stop responding to international rating agencies and financial capital. It must act in favor of national production & employment.
