During an event held in Campeche, he recalled that at Laboratorios de Biológicos y Reactivos de México (Birmex), there were some who "wanted to be too clever," as well as some companies that wanted to take first place in the bidding process, so the bids had to be suspended.

"We had to suspend a bidding process, but practically all the medicine purchases were completed on Sunday, and little by little, they are arriving in Campeche and throughout the country. In July we will be expecting the entire supply of medicines to be normalized. , the federal president assured.

Another open flank for the government is the debts Pemex faces with its suppliers . In response to protests by restaurateurs and hoteliers who accuse the federal government of not paying during the supervision of the Maternal and Child Hospital project, Sheinbaum Pardo said that the payment to suppliers will also be resolved in July and is being reviewed by the Ministry of Energy and Petróleos Mexicanos.

He explained that Pemex had become a company that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador could no longer change because its essence was corruption, but some articles in the Constitution were modified.
