Development: The Mexico City administration recovered some of the initiative in the law and order debate by announcing on 30 June that it would start paying for information about serious crimes. The move is designed to show that the city administration, headed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is fighting hard against crime. The federal government is due to meet the leaders of the march against crime, which took place on 27 June, later today, 1 July.
