A museum that resurfaced

After two decades without activity, the Museum of Teotihuacan Grandeza reopened its doors last June. Its reopening is part of an INAH strategy to recover the museum spaces within the archaeological zone.

Joel Omar Vázquez Herrera, general director of INAH, reported that 7 million pesos were invested in this renovation. The objective, he explained, was to achieve a museography that allows “imagining the slopes and, of course, the feathered snakes.”

Pieces never seen before

A relevant fact: 80% of the collection exhibited is unpublished. “That is, they had never shown it before,” said Vázquez Herrera.

Among the most notable pieces is a 3,500-year-old rubber ball. Since its opening on June 9, the museum has received 25 thousand 15 visits, both national and international. The official described the response as “very important.”

Support for textile art

Marina Núñez Bespalova, Undersecretary of Cultural Development, highlighted the launch of the Original Workshop. This space seeks to train and accompany artisans in the textile field, strengthening a tradition that coexists with the archaeological legacy.

With this reopening, Teotihuacán recovers a key site to understand the greatness of one of the most emblematic civilizations of Mexico.

Sheinbaum calls for transparency in the Lozoya case

President Claudia Sheinbaum asked the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) to publicly report on the judicial resolution that allowed Gilda Susana Lozoya Austin to continue on provisional release for money laundering. Questioned in her morning conference about the decision of a federal judge who refused to order prison, Sheinbaum pointed out that the FGR must explain the status of the case.

“The Prosecutor’s Office has to inform, in this case,” he responded.

The president revealed that she has already requested a report from the agency on the matter. He even addressed the issue with the prosecutor during a meeting of the Security Cabinet, whom he asked to issue a statement to make the procedural situation known.

Pending debt of Alonso Ancira

Sheinbaum also recalled that the former owner of Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA), Alonso Ancira, still maintains a debt derived from the reparation agreement reached with the authorities.

“There is still a last payment derived from the reparation agreement that was made at the time,” he said.

The president asked the Prosecutor’s Office to report on the fulfillment of that commitment so that citizens know the status of the case. Given the possibility that legal actions will continue, he maintained that the process will continue.

“Yes, of course. Yes, because there is still recourse that is owed,” he stated.

On July 6, Sheinbaum had already requested a detailed report from the FGR on the implications of Gilda Lozoya in the Agronitrogenados case. In addition, he announced that an arrest warrant was reactivated against Alonso Ancira, former owner of AHMSA, the company that sold the Agronitrogenados plant to Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex).

Contaminated beaches: health risk in five destinations

The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) reported that five beaches in the country are not suitable for receiving vacationers due to high bacterial concentrations.

The designated areas are: Tijuana Beach, in Baja California; Cuale Beach, in Puerto Vallarta/Bahía de Banderas, Jalisco; Main Beach, in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca; and José Martí and Tumbao Beaches, in Veracruz.

“Cofepris recommends that bathers refrain from swimming activities or other direct contact recreational uses on beaches designated as unsuitable. Preserving these healthy environments and protecting collective health is a shared commitment,” the Commission said in a statement.

Together with the Clean Beach Committees and local authorities, prevention and intervention efforts are coordinated to implement urgent sanitation actions in these five coastal areas, in addition to placing preventive signs.

Almost all Mexican beaches are safe

In contrast, the quality of sea water on 284 beaches — 98.3% — is suitable for recreational use during the summer of 2026, Cofepris detailed.

Between June 15 and July 1, 2,279 seawater samples were collected and processed at 393 strategic verification points, distributed in 76 tourist destinations of the 17 entities with a coastline.

The authorities remember that pollution can affect the health of bathers, so they ask you to follow the recommendations to avoid problems during the holiday season.
