President Claudia Sheinbaum opened the mañanera on Monday with housing. Vivienda para el Bienestar is about 1.2 percent of GDP, she said. 673,586 mortgage credits this administration. 610 billion pesos. Twelve million families, by her count, have had some housing help — new units, repairs, deeds. The Mexico desk files a Monday of numbers after a Sunday of cadets.

Yesterday at Chapultepec she marked the Niños Héroes, 179 years. Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevilla Trejo: “Mexico determines its own destiny, exercises its sovereignty fully.” She handed six swords to cadets. Profeco, as every Monday, ran the pumps: 11,966 stations selling regular under 24 pesos; 8,915 selling diesel under 27. North of the river, diesel is $6.23.

México determina su propio destino.
