A perspective from our CEO

Born and raised in the United States, I have a sense of freedom to hold most Americans. We do not like the idea of ​​being told what to do, especially the government will tell us. We wish our freedom, place and privacy. I do not have specific data to support me, but I think more “infringement” signs are sold in the United States than the rest of the world. Although it is common to see the “don’t trample me” in many parts of the United States, I have never seen a similar identity in Mexico. Many Americans are proud to have a special amount of “Leave me hell alone” type approach.

How can we explain many strong reactions to the Americans government, upper-lower ideas? 48 Make the ounce of drink illegal? “You don’t say what I can do. Can’t drink!” Are plastic bags illegal in groceries? “No helper!” The crowded level for cars? “Legislators, go to hell!” Law of General Knowledge of guns? “Don’t even think about this!”

Things south of the border look different. I remember when Mexico banned smoking in all public places in early 2023. It is one of the strict obstacles worldwide, and it is often a shout. Often, people complied. No play, no demonstrations, no cases.

A similar response was when almost every city and state in the country banned plastic bags in grocery stores. Any plastic bag propagandists file cases, refuse to comply with any shops, and there are no angry customers. People often changed their habit and began to bring back -to -use bags.

This brings me to the series of the recent efforts of Claudia Shinebam, which are noticeable and holding an eye. First, came into effect at the end of March The end of Cocoa Kola To stop selling its products in Mexican schoolsShinbom’s Live Happy, Live Healthy Student. Second, came into effect at the beginning of April The ban on selling all junk foods in Mexican schools. Both attempts were in line with the recently enacted government campaign to attack childhood obesity.

The next initiatives are associated with drug use in the country. Mexico is proud of its own population historically that the use of drugs is relatively low. However, of course, there is always a risk of changing. President Sheinbam recently led the Billboard campaign in some parts of the country, which attracted attention and gained honor of President Trump.

Most recently, as Some states were banned Common events Drug The songs – It often pays sexy or respect for drug trading and cartel leaders – Shinebam spoke against the music that forgives violence.

“It is ridiculous to ban a music type,” he said. Instead, Shinbam said his administration encourages songs that “drugs, violence, forgiving violence against women, or seeing women as sexual objects.”

The administration has won many new initiatives to provide youth inspiration and motivation to divert their energy and skills from drug use or drug dealers. Recently they announced A new nationwide “American Idol”-Style Competition in Mexico To encourage young people to sing and dance. A few weeks ago Shinebam led a large crowd in the capital The National Boxing Class in which about 500,000 people participate.

The leading efforts of the government in song, dancing and sports are a positive thing. I would like to see a nationwide initiative, and focus more on the importance of reading and fun – we hope that it will come.

It is interesting to see that President Shinbam is focusing on social efforts, and the new law is interesting to find a relatively small motivation from the general public and businesses in the new law. I am always cautious about violating the government, but each of these efforts seem to be common sense ideas, which will have positive effects on young children, especially in the Mexican society. Wait…
