Sheinbaum says that the indigenous peoples will be subject to law in the Mexican Chiapas

The ruling presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum ratified that a central axis of her government project will be the reform of article 2 of the Mexican Constitution. With this, the native peoples will be subject to law, they will be recognized the autonomy of and their forms of organization.

Before more than 7,000 people, he assured that in his administration he will change the face of the state of Chiapas, “through projects that allow care for the environment, the jungles and recognizing the indigenous peoples on the decision of their territories, their natural resources, as well as the culture and their forms of organization.”

He recalled that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on February 21, on International Mother Language Day, sent the reform initiative to guarantee the rights of the country’s communities and indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples.

The axis of this amendment, one of the package of proposals made by the Executive Branch on February 5, is “the recognition of indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples and communities as subjects of public law. As well as the establishment of a legal personality and own patrimony from free self-determination.”

Chiapas is one of the most culturally diverse states in Mexico, largely due to the presence of different indigenous groups in the integration of their societies.

This year, the indigenous peoples have warned of a climate of ‘civil war’ in Chiapas due to the armed conflicts, violence and insecurity that have triggered homicides, disappearances and forced displacements. In particular in indigenous and related communities to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

Sheinbaum, standard-bearer of the coalition that make up the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), Labor (PT) and Green Ecologist of Mexico (PVEM) parties, was accompanied by the candidate for the governorship of Chiapas, Eduardo Ramírez.

Among his promises of government, Sheinbaum said that for Chiapas “a special program will be opened to look for “fair prices for coffee and corn and it will be a state of development with a humanist look to attend to the migration that comes from the south.”

Sheinbaum endorsed that support for the elderly and young people will continue, so that they have better employment opportunities, health care and access to medicines, so he asked not to believe the lies of his adversaries.

“On June 2, I am sure that love will triumph against hatred, the truth against slander, democracy will triumph against fraud, the indigenous peoples will triumph, humanism will triumph against discrimination, the people of Chiapas will triumph and the people of Mexico will triumph,” he said.

Finally, he recalled that an economic pole will be installed on the southern border of Mexico that will help boost the economy of the region and create new opportunities through the investment of the business sector.

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.

Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.

Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.

However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October.

His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”

Miyazaki’s style goes viral with AI but at what cost?

This week, you may have noticed that everything—from historical photos and classic movie scenes to internet memes and recent political moments—has been reimagined on social media as Studio Ghibli-style portraits. The trend quickly went viral thanks to ChatGPT and the latest update of OpenAI’s chatbot, released on Tuesday, March 25.

The newest addition to GPT-4o has allowed users to replicate the distinctive artistic style of the legendary Japanese filmmaker and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away). “Today is a great day on the internet,” one user declared while sharing popular memes in Ghibli format.

While the trend has captivated users worldwide, it has also highlighted ethical concerns about AI tools trained on copyrighted creative works—and what this means for the livelihoods of human artists.

Not that this concerns OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has actively encouraged the “Ghiblification”experiments. Its CEO, Sam Altman, even changed his profile picture on the social media platform X to a Ghibli-style portrait.

Miyazaki, now 84 years old, is known for his hand-drawn animation approach and whimsical storytelling. He has long expressed skepticism about AI’s role in animation. His past remarks on AI-generated animation have resurfaced and gone viral again, particularly when he once said he was “utterly disgusted” by an AI demonstration.
