La Jefa de Gobierno anunció una inversión de 100 millones de pesos en el Parque Ecológico Xochimilco, ahora en el abandono, y otra de 200 millones para la zona de los canales y chinampas."
San Gregorio Atlapulco, junto con más de una decena de pueblos originarios de Xochimilco, está llevando a cabo desde hace más de dos años su propia batalla legal para decidir sobre sus propias formas de organización política.
#ClaudiaSheinbaum was elected #Mexico’s first female president in a landslide on Sunday, an official quick count of votes showed, cementing the dominance of the left-leaning Morena movement that over the past 6 years has upended the country’s political establishment.
