Thanks, Brian Winter, for joining the 200th episode of #LatAmFocus and telling us why, after five years, Latin America's electoral ant-incumbency streak hit a wall in 2024. 🎙️Listen here: as-coa.org/articles/latam…

For #LatAmFocus, I spoke with @LuisaLeme about why Mexico's AMLO is anything but a lame duck president as he enters his last month in office, challenges for his successor Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency, and why MX's judicial reform is having an impact on US-MX ties. Listen 🎙️:

August 30: International day of the disappeared August 31: Overdose awareness day. It’s fitting that one day falls after another. It’s painful to think of the communities on both sides of 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 border suffering from these intertwined losses. A moving call to action:

Mexico City's electoral tribunal on Saturday nullified the electoral win of Alessandra Rojo de la Vega for mayor of capital's central borough. Her opponent is Catalina Monreal, a member of a powerful political dynasty active in MX's ruling party. elfinanciero.com.mx/cdmx/2024/08/3…

Another thing fueling digital nomadism in places like Mexico. "Since the pandemic, the cost of owning a home [in the US] has increased by 26%, and incomes have not kept pace." Let's just say rents have not exactly gone down either.

“For a good five or 10 years, Twitter was the Brazilian public square. It’s where we had most of our conversations of consequence. But then it got less interesting and less consequential.” washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/…

Mexico’s lower house is on verge of approving sweeping reform of federal judiciary. -Most Mexicans (53%) know little/zero about it -More (41%) oppose rather than back it (39%) -Biggest portion (37%) say it’ll hurt economy -65% approve of Supreme Court, which will be overhauled

Mexico’s lower house approved the general text of a sweeping judicial reform overnight with 359 votes in favor from the ruling coalition and 135 against from the opposition.
