The Fourth Transformation Punches Back: Soberanía 88
This week on Soberanía: we report on the demonstration in Zócalo on the seventh anniversary of the Fourth Transformation, the significance of hundreds of thousands taking to the streets, and Claudia Sheinbaum’s push to expand Mexico’s public health system.
We break down the proposed shift to a 40-hour workweek, what it really means for workers, and how minimum-wage gains fit into the bigger picture. We then examine the scandal ex-DEA personnel, crypto money-laundering, and weapons for the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel. We close with our Losers & Haters segment calling out the LA Times.
Out of the studio and into the streets!
