The “total endorsement” that Donald Trump recently gave to Abelardo de la Espriella — who, in addition to being a far-right presidential hopeful in Colombia, has been a U.S. citizen since 2023 — was denounced by his left-wing rival, Iván Cepeda, as “the intervention of a foreign government” in an election campaign that will be decided on June 21.

El Mundial más norteamericano empezó con un zumbido prehispánico y terminó con el gringísimo Let’s go. Como una premonición, la caracola marina que servía igual para llamar a la lluvia que a la guerra, sonó esta vez para dar arranque a la primera Copa repartida entre los tres vecinos, Estados Unidos, México y Canadá. Los Tres Amigos, que no atraviesan precisamente el mejor momento de su amistad, tendrán cada uno su propia ceremonia de inauguración. La mexicana, en la que no estuvieron presentes ninguno de los tres presidentes de los países anfitriones, tuvo guiños decorativos prehispánicos, mucho español y bastante de inglés. Una ceremonia neutra para tiempos revueltos.

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is going through her most delicate moment just as she reaches a year and a half in office. Faced with multiple open fronts, the president is showing signs of wear, with a seven-point drop in approval since last March. It is the steepest fall so far in her term, although approval ratings remain high at 68%, according to an Enkoll poll conducted for EL PAÍS and W Radio. To the crisis triggered by the indictment of the governor of Sinaloa, along with nine other senior officials accused by a New York prosecutor of collaborating with drug traffickers, is added a worrying economic weakness that threatens the viability of social policies—a flagship of the leftist Morena government. Insecurity, corruption and the economy are the president’s main shortcomings and the principal concern of Mexicans, with rates slightly up since the last poll in early March.
