The January slope is coming

It is predicted that in 2022, as never before, the so-called “January slope” will hit us hard, which can be extended until the end of March, with increases in food prices and basic consumer products that were already presented during the last three months of last year under the pretext that inflation closed above 7 percent. For now, after the Treasury reduced the subsidy it grants to fuels, through the IEPS, the price of gasoline increased, although only slightly, it did not soar above 25 pesos as predicted by some of the representatives of the opposition to the government of the Fourth Transformation. In Ahome, the magna was sold yesterday at 21.79 pesos, although there is a gas station that announced it at 20.96, while the price in Sinaloa was 20.81 and the national one at 20.59. Los Mochis is still among the most expensive cities in the country. The dollar traded yesterday morning at 20.49 pesos, with a notable recovery of the national currency, after on November 29, 2021 it had reached 21.91 pesos and then fell to 21.01 on December 15. In short, the devaluation of the peso cannot be a reason for price increases in our country, but they are attributed to the low production due to the pandemic and the losses caused by natural phenomena, such as floods caused by hurricanes and torrential rains or droughts. The hope persists that in 2022 inflation will be controlled and that there will be enough production so that food is not scarce and prices do not go to the clouds, for the benefit of millions of Sinaloan and Mexican families. Potpourri. Mayor Gerardo Vargas closed the year with an inspection tour, which he made on the 31st at night, through the places where the police operations of the breathalyzer were installed. The agents were surprised to verify that they were not committing outrages against motorists and the good thing is that they helped reduce the number of fatal accidents that sometimes arise at the end of the year. Hopefully this supervision of the work of the police, traffic and all kinds of staff of the City Council will continue to be done constantly to guarantee good treatment and respect for the rights of citizens. CONDOLENCE. Regrettable is the death of the former state president of the Party of the Democratic Revolution Claudia Morales Acosta, who was also a retired professor at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa and served as the party’s national advisor. Heartfelt condolences to his relatives. Sinaloa loses a social fighter. TRUSTEES. There is still no date for the holding of the plebiscites to elect the trustees of the syndicates of Ahome, it is assumed that these will be in March, but the aspirants and the political parties, although these should not meddle, already walk to everything that gives in pre-campaign and it is anticipated that it will become a kind of measurement of forces against the Moreno government and there it will be known if the PRI and the PAN they manage to get up from the canvas or continue their electoral fall.” Mexico’s economy will strengthen in 2022″, Rogelio Ramírez, Secretary of Finance
