From Acción Nacional, he demanded the resignation of Zoé Robledo and stated that he should be held accountable for the state of the institute. #PANPorLaSalud #Salud #IMSS #México (translated)

Mario Di Costanzo stated that, according to a person present, Claudia Sheinbaum had become upset after learning of the rejection by Social Security workers of a 2.9% salary increase. He also noted that workers from IMSS-BIENESTAR had called for a march and that employees from the Health Secretariat were blocking the viaduct. Di Costanzo asserted that Sheinbaum had reprimanded Zoé Robledo, Alejandro Svarch, and David Kershenobich, and that the doctors had to increase her medication. He attributed the episode also to the news that HR Ratings would downgrade Mexico's long-term rating and to some statements by Donald Trump regarding possible attacks by sea and land against the cartels in Mexico, even if Sheinbaum opposed it. The author concluded that the mental health of the president, or at least her mood, was deteriorating. #Sheinbaum #CrisisPolítica #SaludMental (translated)

Alessandra Rojo de la Vega stated that the Cuauhtémoc Mayor's Office had not allocated and would not allocate money to finance violence, and said that she defended respect for collectives, although everyone must comply with the law. Regarding the events on Friday, she maintained that they had not been a protest but an action by an isolated group from the trans community that, according to her, came with the intention of exercising violence. She said that the members were welcomed and that a committee was formed to dialogue. She added that some demands — an investigation and the delivery of abandoned houses or land — corresponded to the Prosecutor's Office and the Government of Mexico City, respectively, and that her administration opposed these latter requests. Rojo de la Vega assured that for four hours, with the knowledge of the Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC), the group broke windows, set fire in the esplanade, and damaged security cameras. She claimed that SSC agents arrived minutes after the group left the mayor's office and suggested that they were previously busy repressing IMSS personnel who were protesting for decent salaries. She also accused a national secretary of promoting hate speech and spreading false information on social media. She claimed that she had attacked another senator from behind in the plenary session and criticized the treatment that, according to her, she offered to the searching mothers, whom she would neither receive nor listen to. The mayor described Cuauhtémoc as the most feminist municipality and stated that it was the only one out of the 16 with a shelter for victims of gender violence funded with its own resources. She said that her administration accompanied victims in filing complaints and that, thanks to Reacción Violeta, 54 attackers had received firm convictions. She added that more than 5,000 women had received psychological and legal attention, as well as training, and that during the first year of her government, femicides had decreased by 85%, according to Secretariat data. Finally, she questioned the national secretary about alleged corrupt contracts for her friends, supposed ties to drug trafficking, and the lack of attention to searching mothers. She also reproached her for remaining silent in the face of violence against medical and health personnel. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #ViolenciaDeGénero (translated)

Di Costanzo stated that IMSS was going through the worst crisis in its history and that Robledo would have to resign if there was a desire to solve it. Furthermore, he maintained that the purchases of medicines, supplies, and equipment had been a lucrative business for Robledo and Andy, and that Palenque was still giving the orders. #IMSS #ZoéRobledo #CrisisSanitaria (translated)

Mario Di Costanzo asked Zoé Robledo that, if the IMSS did not have a budget to increase the salaries of its workers, money should stop being allocated to the Tren Maya, the AIFA, and the refinery that, according to him, was not refining.

He also tagged Claudia Sheinbaum. #IMSS #AumentodeSueldos #Economía (translated)
