We know that this is probably the busiest part of the year and not everyone can read the daily news every day. This is why we are going through some of BELatina’s most important articles this week. 

So, for those of you who missed news stories about our community, take a moment to read what happened this week. From Mexico’s president, AMLO, asking Bad Bunny to perform for free to learning about a 12-year-old Panamanian reporter, it was an eventful week.
