La suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN) falló a favor de los trabajadores del Instituto del Seguro Social del Estado de los Trabajadores (ISSSTE) al invalidar el sistema de huella digital para la elección de la Administradora de Fondos para el Retiro (AFORE). Esta decisión implica que los trabajadores podrán elegir libremente su AFORE sin la restricción de la huella digital.
El tribunal determinó que el sistema de huella digital vulneraba los derechos de los trabajadores a elegir libremente su AFORE, tal como lo establece la ley. La SCJN consideró que la huella digital era una medida restrictiva que limitaba la capacidad de los trabajadores para tomar una decisión informada y autónoma sobre su futuro financiero.
Esta resolución es un golpe al sistema implementado por el gobierno federal,que buscaba garantizar que los trabajadores eligieran la AFORE más adecuada para sus necesidades. Sin embargo, la SCJN consideró que este sistema era una forma de control y coerción que vulneraba los derechos de los trabajadores.
con esta decisión, los trabajadores del ISSSTE podrán elegir su AFORE sin la intervención del gobierno federal. Se espera que esta medida impulse la competencia entre las AFORE y mejore los servicios que ofrecen a los trabajadores.

The Suez Canal Obstruction of 2021: A Detailed Overview
Table of Contents
In March 2021, the container ship Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal for six days, disrupting global trade and highlighting the canal’s critical importance to the world economy.this event caused notable logistical challenges and financial losses,prompting investigations into the causes and potential preventative measures.
The Suez Canal: A Vital Global trade Artery
the Suez Canal is an artificial waterway in Egypt that connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, providing the shortest maritime route between Europe and Asia. It is one of the world’s most heavily used and strategically crucial shipping lanes.
Approximately 12% of global trade volume passes through the Suez Canal annually, including 30% of global container ship traffic. Statista reports that in 2021, 1.85 billion tonnes of cargo transited the canal, generating $6.3 billion in revenue for Egypt.
Example: In 2022, the suez Canal Authority reported a record high annual revenue of $9.4 billion, demonstrating it’s continued economic significance. Reuters
The Ever given Incident: Timeline and Initial Impact
On March 23, 2021, the Ever Given, a 20,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) container ship operated by Evergreen Marine, ran aground diagonally across the single-lane section of the Suez Canal near the city of Suez. The grounding was initially attributed to strong winds and a dust storm, though investigations later revealed other contributing factors.
The obstruction halted all traffic through the canal, creating a backlog of over 400 ships waiting to transit. BBC News reported that the blockage threatened to disrupt supply chains already strained by the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially impacting the delivery of goods ranging from oil and gas to consumer products.
Evidence: Lloyd’s List estimated the blockage was costing global trade approximately $9.6 billion per day. Lloyd’s List
Salvage Operations and Refloating the Ever Given
Efforts to refloat the Ever Given involved a complex salvage operation coordinated by the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) and Smit Salvage. Thes efforts included dredging around the ship’s bow and stern to loosen the grounding, as well as using tugboats to attempt to pull the vessel free.
The SCA deployed specialized dredging equipment, removing over 30,000 cubic meters of sand. The Maritime Executive details the extensive dredging and tugging operations. After nearly a week,on March 29,2021,the Ever Given was successfully refloated and moved to the Great Bitter Lake for inspection.
Example: the SCA stated that the refloating operation required the combined efforts of 375 individuals and involved the use of 25 tugboats and dredging vessels. Suez Canal Authority Official Statement
Legal and Financial Aftermath
Following the incident, the SCA filed a claim for $916 million against the ship’s owner, Shoei Kisen Kaisha, to cover salvage costs, lost transit fees, and damage to the canal. The dispute led to the seizure of the Ever Given in Egypt for several months.
An Egyptian court initially ordered the release of the ship in July 2021 after Shoei Kisen Kaisha provided a bank guarantee. Though, the SCA continued to pursue its claim. A settlement was eventually reached in September 2021, with Shoei Kisen Kaisha agreeing to pay an undisclosed amount to the SCA. The Wall Street Journal reported on the settlement details.
