Sheinbaum To Forgive Debts For Tens Of Thousands Of Small Farmers

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, announced a government program that seeks to settle, in many cases, and significantly reduce, in others, the debts owed by small-scale farmers, small producers, and fishermen to the government. “Today we have the great news that many of those debts have already been paid off, just like the unpayable debts of Infonavit and Fovissste. So today we have great news for all debtors of the National Agricultural Development Finance Agency because their debts are going to be significantly reduced,” the president said during her regular daily press conference.

Mexico Enacts Universal Healthcare

As Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum moves forward with a plan to enact universal healthcare for her country’s more than 130 million people, a longtime advocate for Medicare for All in the US called the development “both inspiring and frustrating.” “Inspiring because it shows what is possible,” Wendell Potter, a former insurance company communications director who has become a leading critic of the industry, told Common Dreams. “Frustrating because here in the US we are going in the opposite direction.”

Cross-Border Days Of Solidarity Against Rigged Trade Agenda

On July 1, trade officials from the U.S., Mexico and Canada will be meeting to consider changes to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) — also known as NAFTA 2.0 — the largest and most consequential trade policy of either Trump’s terms in office. The Trump administration and others are pushing a rigged trade agenda that puts the interests of billionaires and corporations ahead of working people, family farmers and the environment in North America and beyond. In response, people are coming together across borders and across issue areas to say “Enough!”

Mexico: Five Massive Drives Defy Crushing US Blockade

Mexico City — Mexico-Cuba solidarity shone brightly in the heart of Mexico City on Feb. 14, 2026, as the campaign “De pueblo a pueblo, acabemos con el bloqueo” (From people to people, let’s end the blockade) kicked off at the Zócalo. Organized by the militant solidarity collective Va por Cuba and the Association of Cuban Residents in Mexico “José Martí,” the drive collects food and medicines for the island nation facing severe shortages. From early morning, people streamed in. Young people, families, retirees, workers, office employees and teachers arrived with bags, boxes and sacks. Donations included rice, beans, powdered milk, sardines, canned tuna and essential medicines.

Mexico Sends Shipment Of Humanitarian Aid To Cuba

The government of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the shipment of 814 tons of milk, meat, beans, rice, and other foodstuffs to Cuba on Sunday, February 8. The move came days after Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel presented a series of emergency measures being adopted by his government to mitigate the impact of the severe fuel shortage facing the island. Cuba is currently facing a serious crisis, provoked by recent maneuvers from the US government which, emboldened by its massive military build up in the Caribbean and its recent bombing of Caracas, has sought to further tighten the blockade on the island, hoping to finally force the overthrow of the government.

Sheinbaum Reaffirms Mexico’s Sovereignty Amid US Threats

On January 25, 2026, President Sheinbaum declared Mexico’s unwavering independence while delivering housing units in Reynosa, just miles from the U.S. border. Sheinbaum reaffirms Mexico’s sovereignty in a powerful statement from the northern border, where geopolitical tensions simmer and U.S. rhetoric grows increasingly aggressive. During a working visit to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, on Sunday, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered a clear message to Washington: “Mexico will always be a free, independent, and sovereign country. And here, on this border, it is even more symbolic to say so.”

Resisting The Empire Next Door, Protests In Mexico Grow

An anti-imperialist movement is building in Mexico, where the U.S. invasion of Venezuela has been seen as an act of intimidation for all of Latin America. Protests are swelling in response to this latest blow after decades of political and economic subjugation by its neighbor to the north. Across the country, larger-than-usual marches on January 3 and 10 condemned the U.S. attacks on Venezuela. The marches included some pro-Morena groups (the governing party) as well as students, workers, farmers, and Indigenous groups that are critical of Morena.

Trump Threatens Colombia’s Petro, Says Cuba Looks ‘Ready To Fall’

United States President Donald Trump has threatened military action against his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, following Washington’s abduction of Venezuela’s leader, and said he believed the government in Cuba, too, was likely to fall soon. Trump’s comments on Sunday came amid a growing outcry over the brazen abduction of Nicolas Maduro, with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain condemning the US action as a “dangerous precedent for peace and regional security”. Trump told reporters on board Air Force One that Venezuela and Colombia were “very sick” and that the government in Bogota was run by “a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States”.

Venezuela Strongly Condemns US Threat Of Blockade

In an escalation of the US empire’s ongoing illegal sanctions on Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has announced a “full blockade” of the sovereign nation and its oil tanker fleet. He claimed the measure would remain in place until Venezuela “returns all the oil, land, and other assets” he alleged were previously stolen from the US. The announcement ignited an immediate response from the Venezuelan government, followed by all state institutions and international allies. “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote on social media this Tuesday, December 16, adding that “it will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”

Inside Coca-Cola’s Multi-Billion Dollar Theft Of Trade Secrets

Since 2004, as part of the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, I have attended Coca-Cola’s annual meetings of shareholders to confront The Coca-Cola Company’s chief executives and board members over the company's involvement in horrific human rights abuses and other criminal behavior. These meetings often became confrontational and tense. I was violently attacked from behind while standing at the microphone raising issues of Coca-Cola’s complicity in deadly human rights abuses perpetrated against union leaders in Colombia. The assailants turned out to be Wilmington, Delaware police dressed in plain clothes moonlighting as Coca-Cola security.

The Truth About The ‘Gen Z’ March In Mexico

A youth march with the notable absence of youth. A march against violence that ended with deliberately provoked violence. A nonpartisan march with one of its key proponents in the pay of the nation’s conservative party. A march inspired by imagery from the hit left-wing comic One Piece descending into a maelstrom of far-right hate. The contradictions surrounding Mexico’s so-called “Generation Z” march on November 15 — also known as the “15N protests and riots” — are abundant. Moreover, they provide an object lesson in the “franchise model” of international demonstration symbolism in which a domestic event is appropriated to suit the agenda of the franchisees.

Anti-Government Protests In Mexico Exposed As Destabilization Plot

A right-wing, billionaire-backed and violent demonstration was held in Mexico City on November 15 against President Claudia Sheinbaum. Corporate media in the United States portrayed the protests as Gen Z taking a stand against corruption, but the march had all the makings of a US-backed destabilization effort. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, co-hosts of the public TV program Sin Muros and the podcast Soberania, about the protests, who is behind them, the achievements of the Fourth Transformation and the risks of US aggression in the region.

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z Rebellion’ Exposed As Viral Right-Wing Plot

Violent demonstrations which erupted in over 50 cities across Mexico on November 15 were secretly financed and coordinated by an international right-wing network and amplified by bot networks, a new report by public fact-checking platform Infodemia has concluded. Those findings were amplified by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has questioned what role Mexico’s cartel-linked opposition parties and foreign meddling may have played in inflaming so-called “Gen Z” protests on November 15. The demonstrations left around 120 people injured – over 100 of them police officers, according to a statement from authorities.

Sheinbaum Rebuffs Trump After He Threatens To Bomb Mexico, Colombia

US President Donald Trump lashed out Monday at Mexico and Colombia, threatening to bomb their territories as part of the US “fight” against drug trafficking. “Would I launch attacks against Mexico to stop drug trafficking? I have no problem with that,” he said during a press conference from the Oval Office of the White House. “Whatever it takes to stop drug trafficking,” he added in reference to the illegal US missile strikes, conducted under the auspices of an alleged “war on drugs,” that have killed 83 civilians from various countries in the region. During his statements, the US ruler reiterated his alleged willingness to conduct diplomatic talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Manufactured ‘Hat Movement’ Rage Distracts Mexico’s Working Youth

The clashes in Mexico City’s Zócalo were dramatic, a spectacle of generational fury broadcast around the world. Thousands of young Mexicans, many sporting the wide-brimmed straw hats that have become a defiant symbol, marched under the banner of the so-called 15N “Hat Movement.” Triggered by the assassination of opposition mayor Carlos Manzo, the demonstration quickly became a furious call for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s resignation, complete with skirmishes against police and the unexpected sight of the One Piece pirate flag flying high above the turmoil. For many observers outside of Mexico, this looked like a spontaneous, organic youth rebellion against insecurity and corruption. But the political reality is far more complex.
