Grupo Salinas Case and Tax Debts
President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that Grupo Salinas has 9 cases in 4 companies with debts amounting to more than 48.38 billion pesos (US$2.63 billion). She reiterated that the Constitution prohibits debt forgiveness, and that benefits are only available if debts are paid on time in accordance with the law.
Sheinbaum emphasized that during López Obrador’s administration, provisions were added to Constitutional Article 28 preventing privileges from being granted to tax debtors. “There will be no more behind-the-scene deals: everyone must meet their obligations without exceptions,” she said

Plan Mexico and Tariffs
Sheinbaum explained that Plan Mexico aims to increase national production to improve the trade balance. She said that Mexico’s decision to impose tariffs was made because imports increased by about 83% in almost four years.
