In recent days, Mexico has dominated the news headlines, but for all the wrong reasons. Reports of violence have cast a dark shadow over the country. Just last week, a shooting at a resort in Cortazar left six adults and one child dead (ABC News). Meanwhile, the debate over whether to label Mexican drug cartels as ‘terrorist groups’ continues to rage on both sides of the US-Mexico border (USA Today).
But it’s not just violence that’s making Mexican news. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy addressed Mexico’s Congress on Thursday (NDTV.com), and a recent incident involving a Delta flight from Mexico City to JFK Airport was headline news after the plane was struck by an Aeromexico plane while waiting for takeoff (ABC7 New York).
Meanwhile, the sporting world has been focused on the USA vs. Mexico soccer match on Wednesday where the USMNT managed to get a late goal for a 1-1 draw (Sporting News). Due to happen in 2023, it is the first of what could be three matches between the two national teams.
With so much going on in Mexico, it is important to keep a close eye on the situation and hope for peace and stability in the country.
