Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), the frontrunner in Mexico’s 2018 presidential race, is scheduled to make a campaign stop in Jocotepec on Saturday, May 19.

Pedro Kumamoto, one of two independent Senate candidates in Jalisco, has called for an end to the “dirty war” that political parties are waging in the current campaign season.

This year has been unkind to Jalisco in the sphere of murders. With 171 dead, March was declared the state’s single bloodiest month since 1997. 

Three fire fighters lost their lives while combatting a blaze Saturday, April 28 near Concepcion de Buenos Aires, a town characterized – like nearby Mazamitla – by dry forests of pine trees.

Jalisco legislator Veronica Jimenez Vazquez has proposed a new law to punish participation in dog fighting with up to five years in prison and 161,200 pesos in fines.

Vallarta Pride 2018 will run from May 20 to 27 and celebrate the port’s 100th anniversary with the theme, “100 Reasons to Celebrate.”
