Social rights in the self-called 4th transformation of Mexico

Abstract

The declaration of a pandemic made by the World Health Organization -WHO- due to SARS-CoV2 -COVID19- in March 2020, implied not only that the States had to define and implement a Strategic Plan for Preparedness and Comprehensive Response to said disease, but also, review and reconsider government planning, strategies, actions and goals. No State concerned with an effective and efficient administration, as well as for the fulfillment of its ultimate goal was the exception. In the aforementioned perspective, and given the magnitude of the effects generated by said pandemic, it became evident, as well as urgent, such review and reconsideration, since, as can be deduced from the specified data, the implementation of an efficient and effective social policy, sufficient, and thus the protection of social rights is strategic.Therefore, the present collaboration aims to present, on the one hand, a generic review of the protection of social rights in light of the approval and application of the Expenditure Budget of the Federation for fiscal year 2021; and, on the other, the identification of some of the challenges that we envision for their adequate protection, in a scenario of institutional fragility, fragmentation of the available instruments and high levels of uncertainty.
