Mexican authorities and fuel entrepreneurs signed a six-month agreement to cap regular gasoline prices at no more than 24 pesos per liter, which has been renewed with the same validity until today. [^2]

The Mexican Executive branch, via the Secretariat of the Treasury and Public Credit (SHCP), is legally obligated to present the 2027 Budget of Expenditures and General Economic Policy Criteria to the Congress of the Union by September 8, 2026. [^3]

On September 1, 2025, Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, the governor of Guanajuato, attended the second government report of President Claudia Sheinbaum at the National Palace in Mexico City. [^4]

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico indicated during her accountability report that her administration will maintain financial support for Pemex, the state-owned oil company. [^5]

The governments of Morena have weakened public finances, requiring a significant adjustment to achieve sustainability. [^6]

In another location within the municipality, Mexican Army elements secured four long guns, 38 magazines, 130 cartridges, three tactical vests, six ballistic plates, and two vehicles. [^7]

The General Attorney's Office of the Republic (FGR), State Police, and PEMEX personnel participated in the operation to detect three tractor-trailers, 47 tankers, 12 fuel pumps, one energy generator, and five plastic fuel tanks. [^8]
