Secretary of the Interior (Segob) Adán Augusto López has revealed that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) will sign the decree to eliminate daylight saving time next week. AMLO’s main justification for this action is the national health factor.
López explained that, due to health problems of Legal Counselor of the Federal Executive María Estela Ríos González this week, the draft decree could not be presented to AMLO for his signature.
Exactly when the time change will go into effect has not been announced.
Quintana Roo and Sonora are the only states that will not be affected by the decree.
