Mexico City Floods, Dengue Outbreak, CNTE Strike, and South Korean Election Results

Mexico City Issues Yellow Alert Amidst Heavy Rainfall and Flooding; Dengue Cases Surge; CNTE Strike Continues; Lee Jae Myung Wins South Korean Presidency Mexico City experienced significant rainfall on June 3, 2025, prompting authorities to issue a yellow alert. The downpour caused flooding in various parts of the city, including the overflowing of the Río de la Piedad, resulting in several rescues near a viaduct. "The heavy precipitation and resulting flooding led to the activation of the Tlaloc operational protocol," stated a spokesperson for the Secretariat of Integral Management of Water Resources. Meanwhile, the ongoing CNTE teachers' strike continues, with Education Secretary Mario Delgado issuing an ultimatum: return to classes or face replacement. On the political front, Hugo Aguilar Ortiz is expected to take the helm as the new president of the Supreme Court of Justice. Public health officials reported 14,877 confirmed dengue cases in 2025, with the majority concentrated in five states: Jalisco, Veracruz, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Tamaulipas. This is a significant increase compared to previous years. Internationally, Lee Jae Myung, the center-left candidate, secured victory in the South Korean presidential election, defeating his conservative rival, Kim Moon-Soo. Adding a positive note, Mexican race walker Alegán González achieved a remarkable gold medal win at the Grand Prix de Marcha in Madrid, Spain.
