MEXICO CITY, May 22 (EL UNIVERSAL).- This week has been very active for the meme-making community, since the lawsuit between Nodal and Belinda, the position of Sandra Cuevas on the stalls’ signs and the drama surrounding the neighbor by Polanco because a club near his home gave material to cut.
More seriously, protests by Mexican doctors over poor working conditions continue for the second straight week as the government seeks to recruit doctors from Cuba. The situation is summed up in a meme that reads, “It’s a bad time to be a Mexican doctor.”
Mexican doctors protest
After President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced on May 9 that 500 Cuban doctors would be hired “to overcome Mexico’s shortage of skilled workers,” Mexican doctors’ outrage continues to reverberate, and the conversation has continued over the precarious situation in which doctors work , revived in Mexico.
“We all work during the pandemic and today we don’t have a job. The institution informed us that there is no budget for us and received the President’s words of May 16 saying that they are missing, he told me here we are, we want to work,” said Dr Diana Varela, General Practitioner of the IMSS, during a peaceful protest in front of the National Palace on May 19th.
In the face of criticism, AMLO yesterday said it had sparked controversy in conservative sectors, but said: “Fuck them!” and assured that Mexican medical staff who have no base will be hired first.
“Now there is a controversy because we are going to hire, we are going to bring after we hire all the doctors in Mexico, we know it will not reach us because these irresponsible corrupt people left us without doctors, we have no Mexico the doctors that our people need (…) Once we have recruited all the doctors and we know that we will need them, especially in the rural areas, we will recruit 500 Cuban specialists in the most remote communities, and the Conservatives are very pleased angry, well, go to hell! because the first thing is people’s health “.

Nodal and Belinda’s dirty laundry goes on air
Christian Nodal exploded on social media against the parents of his ex-fiancée Belinda, whom he accuses of collecting his daughter’s fruit “until she is left with nothing”. Via a Twitter post, Nodal shared a screenshot of Belinda asking him if there won’t be some money coming his way in addition to what his parents have to fix his teeth.
“Honey do you think I can get my teeth fixed this week, I mean won’t you get any money this week other than my parents to fix them?” The “Welcome to Eden” singer and actress wrote via WhatsApp, after which Nodal publicly wrote:
“For 20 years he gathered the fruits of his daughter, until he left her with nothing. Leave me alone, I’m healing. I don’t bother you, I don’t even ask for my acknowledgment in song or in life. Everything beautiful that happens deserves it and it has cost me too. When I got tired of giving, it was all over.”
Twitter users split into two camps, criticizing the artist for asking for money while others questioned the release of a private conversation. A third group couldn’t help but joke that Belinda asked for money to get her teeth fixed.

It was April when the first neighbors began to report the lack of signs at the posts of the Cuauhtémoc mayor’s office.
Faced with the situation, the Rechida collective, which is short for Chilanga Network in Defense of Art and Popular Graphics, was formed. This group is attempting to collect photographs of the now-defunct Cuauhtémoc signs to create an archive and witness to the Mexican graphic design that has remained beneath the mayor’s office’s white paint and gray logo.
After criticism and protests against the removal of the signs, the mayor published on Twitter the case of Doña Josefina, a 56-year-old tenant who “survives thanks to this position” and stated that it was the owner of the premises who “demanded that they painting and placing the logo of the mayor’s office #Cuauhtémoc to “adapt to the order and discipline of this new government”, a phrase that has been questioned by users of social networks.
