In this article we analyze the political communication of the Mexican government in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. We take as a starting point the daily evening conferences as a space in which the political and scientific discourses are in tension. Moreover, in these conferences the government built a narrative that seeks to gain support and legitimize the sanitary actions of the federal government, which was criticized of being limp and inefficient. We do a discursive analysis from the socio-semiotic approach, and postulate what we called the didactic model of the governmental communication.

The #MeToo movement of 2017 spread around the world as a wave of opposition to the sexual assault and harassment that women suffer in their workplaces. Although it started with the stories of Hollywood's women, it soon became clear that many around the world suffer the same type of violence, no matter their country, age, job and race/ethnicity. That slogan was a reference to the namesake organisation that has helped survivors of sexual violence since 2006. #MeToo makes visible the omnipresence of gender inequity among the society; in that way, it rekindled a long-term movement of women that fights against the gender gap that has historically set women aside in public life. In Latin America the #MeToo was used by feminist movements and also by women who suffer (or had suffered) all kinds of gender-based violence. It is important to consider that the hashtags used to report violence against women in Latin America went beyond #MeToo: it is possible to mention the #MiPrimerAcoso (#MyFirstHarrasment), #NiUnaMenos (#NotOneLess) or #VivasNosQueremos (#WeWantUsAlive). This new generation of activism (mostly from urban contexts and with a wide knowledge of technology uses) was effective in making public the situation of women in Latin America (Gomez and Lozano, 2019). In Mexico, the subordination of women takes place in every aspect of the daily life. The most common is in the house, a situation that leads some scholars to establish a difference between the 'private sphere' (the one in which traditionally the man can be restored from the bustle of work and the public space) and the 'domestic sphere' (that one in which the woman has to serve their husband and children) (Murillo, 1996). But even if women can get a good job and have a high position in a company, they are still subordinated to men: usually, women that have access to the top of the hierarchy are under more pressure because they have to demonstrate, all the time, that they can do the job. Also, their salary is lower, because they cannot receive the incentive compensations that their male colleges benefit from (car, holiday, bonus, etc.) (Vega Montiel, 2014: 207-208). In a national survey in Mexico, nearly one quarter of the respondents (23%) affirmed that women must ask for permission if they want to work (Galeana Herrera, 2015). Moreover, women's opinion is considered of being less worth than listening to than men's, and in all the cases they must take care of their family, even if the job is full time (García de León, 1994). Finally, other scholars (Molyneux, 2001; Vélez Bautista, 2006) have shed light on the concept of citizenship. They demonstrate that, although the concept seems to be neutral, in its origins it was based on the image of men. Therefore, women were excluded from it. This has several consequences when we focus on the women's

El presente artículo indaga en la construcción discursiva del llamado Libro Vaquero Anticorrupción a través del análisis socio-semiótico de su estructura formal, su narrativa y su modo de abordar el lanzamiento del Sistema Nacional Anticorrupción (SNA) en México. La principal conclusión a la que se arriba es que el discurso oficial del SNA responsabiliza de forma casi exclusiva a la sociedad civil por las condiciones actuales en relación a la corrupción. De esta forma, se invisibilizan las causas estructurales, principalmente en relación a los actores del campo de poder (entendido como la conjunción del campo político y económico).
