Story gist: A liquefied petroleum gas tanker overturned and caught fire on the Mexico-Querétaro highway. Authorities closed the road in both directions.

Bias summary: Left-leaning La Jornada factually details the tanker overturn, fire, and road closure. Center MILENIO emphasizes truckers blocking roads in Estado de México to demand safety improvements, highlighting protest response. Right-leaning Reforma uses dramatic ‘explota’ for explosion, omitting overturn and closure details. Center focuses on labor demands absent in left and right lanes.

Story gist: Mexican Senator Ricardo Monreal stated that the electoral reform has no chance of passing without support from PT and PVEM parties. He indicated openness to discussions with the INE.

Bias summary: Left-leaning La Jornada emphasizes potential additional snowfalls in northern Mexico, using tentative language (‘podría provocar’).
