Political discussions in Mexico have centered on a proposal by President Claudia Sheinbaum to prohibit individuals with dual nationality from seeking the presidency or governorships. Alejandro Robles Gómez, Secretary of Migrants in the Exterior for the Morena party, supported the measure, stating that leaders must demonstrate ‘absolute loyalty toward Mexico’ to safeguard sovereignty. Ricardo Monreal Ávila, President of the Political Coordination Board, noted that the initiative would require serious constitutional and legal analysis once formally received by the Chamber.

Regional political activity continues to evolve. In Monterrey, Nuevo León, PRI Deputy Lorena de la Garza has signaled her aspirations for the mayoralty through her second legislative report. She highlighted her management of over 10,000 family supports and 14,400 scholarships, alongside legislative work regarding missing persons alerts.

In Aguascalientes, Governor Tere Jiménez reported economic stability, noting a 6 percent growth in 2024 and a 13 percent increase in the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, in Asientos, Mayor José Manuel González Mota defended a proposal to separate Villa Juárez into an independent municipality to improve local social conditions.

At the national level, the Chamber of Deputies received audited financial reports from 35 public universities to promote transparency. Regarding the tourism sector, the Tourism Commission has approved reforms to the General Tourism Law. Proposed by Deputy Tania Palacios Kuri, these reforms aim to institutionalize a gender perspective and human rights within national policy. The measures mandate that tourism service providers implement protocols for the prevention, attention, and referral of gender-based violence, while lodging establishments must provide safe spaces and notify authorities of such incidents.
