Following @Claudiashein 's recent cabinet appointments, #Mexico will have two #climate scientists in charge. What does that mean for a country reliant on oil revenues?

Seven of Sheinbaum’s cabinet picks currently hold positions in Amlo’s govt. Three will hold the same position. Historic amount of continuity between different presidents’ cabinets.

@ElParece This is crucial. No clue if AMLO was in anyone’s pocket or not, but the reality around García Luna has to be understood here if you’re interested in having a rounded view of informants’ potential motivations and the political dynamics in play at the time.

Expresidentes del PRI impugnaron ante el Tribunal Electoral la asamblea nacional y las reformas a los estatutos del partido. Alegaron que la asamblea se realizó de manera ilegal y que las reformas permitirían a "Alito" Moreno permanecer en el cargo hasta 2032.

Essential reading from @AmerQuarterly on the poor record of prosecutors in Mexico. Any reform of Mexico’s justice system should address this. Unfortunately AMLO’s does not

Full list of 18 constitutional reforms AMLO is tabling on 1 Aug for committee approval, ahead of new, Morena supermajority congress in Sept. Inc judicial reform and militarisation of the National Guard. Safe to say these are major items receiving the slightest formal scrutiny.

Mexico president AMLO is insisting on non-intervention in Venezuela. Not sure how that squares with harrassing, detaining and deporting Venezuelan refugees in Mexico as per its agreement with the US. Especially as there will now likely be many more seeking refuge/to get to the US
