The Frente Nacional Anti AMLO (FRENA) announced that Chapala has been added to the list of places where protests against President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will be held on Saturday, June 13.

Around 30 of the merchants who do business in the tourist zone at Chapala’s Malecón staged a protest march Sunday, June 7, clamoring for the local government’s authorization to reopen their stalls, shuttered since late March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chapala police have registered two murders and a presumed suicide since the beginning of June.

As the incidence of Covid-19 infection in the north shore corridor has surged this month, public anxiety over the identification of patients and persons they may have exposed has likewise been on the rise.

Confirmed Covid-19 cases in Chapala jumped from two on Thursday, June 4 to 11 on  Sunday, June 7, while the tally in Jocotepec rose from five to nine over the same period, with the municipality’s first death attributed to the disease, according to statistics reported on the Jalisco Department of Health (SSJ) Radar system.

Lakeside motorists who are in need of obtaining or updating a Jalisco driver’s license won’t have luck in the immediate future at the state Transportation Department (Setrans) office in Chapala, or at any of the agency’s branches elsewhere.
