We've been told that officials from the National Information Access Institute (INAI) have yet to meet with President López Obrador , months after requesting a meeting. On February 14, the INAI officials sent a document to the President , explaining how society needs the institute and the information it provides. The letter was sent after the President criticized the INAI and claimed that some of them didn't do anything, hid information, and received stratospheric salaries.

No textbooks in Mexico City
We've been told that in some schools in Mexico City , teachers and doctors are already upset because schools are yet to receive the textbooks and the next school year is about to begin. In previous months, the Public Education Ministry acknowledge it was having issues with the books. It turns out that the Finance Ministry decided that to implement a 10% cut to the budget and no one was interested in the tender. So the schools have yet to receive the books and the teachers are wondering if they will receive new materials or if they will have to recycle their old materials.
