That day after all the commercial, media, and marketing paraphernalia, when the campaigns are over, when people are kept up at night checking the Preliminary Electoral Results Program (PREP), by means of which the election results are confirmed, for the trauma or pleasure of the voters. The day after tomorrow came and we met it calmly. The main news story became a reality: #HabemusPresidenta, with all the implications ...

Jacumba Hot Springs (United States) (AFP) - Freddy Sanchez and his family walked for days under a scorching sun, crossing into the United States less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced new rules aimed at shuttering the border.

Claudia Sheinbaum has led in exit polls over her primary opponent, Sophie Galvez, as the head of the country's ruling Morena party.

Los Angeles (AFP) - Enedina Canul wanted to play softball, but the 47-year-old didn't have a bat -- and that was the least of her problems. Her simple desire to play sports was also a major fight for women's rights as she fought against the conservative social mores of her rural Mexican village, captured in the film "Las Amazonas de Yaxunah," premiering at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival on Sunday. The documentary focuses on Canul and the softball team she formed in her small, Indigenous hamlet -- and their push against the stifling machismo culture that saw their participat...

By Braden Chalker Group B of this summer's Copa America tournament could be the most competitive set of teams in the group stage ahead of the quarter-finals.

The top team in Group B play will square off against runners-up from Group A -- which could en...

By Braden Chalker A few former fringe players in the Mexico national team setup will get their chance to perform at one of the biggest stages this summer in Copa America 2024. There's a been an 'out with the old and in with the new' theme leading up to Copa America this summer in the El Tri squad. Mexico boss Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano left out previous key figures in his 31-player preliminary squad like Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano, Guillermo 'Memo' Ochoa, Jesus Gallardo and Henry Martin. Lozano has chosen to gamble on some younger, fresher faces like Santiago Gimenez and Angel Malagon -- both of which ...
