Another bloody chapter in Huitzilac: former candidate found in ravine

If you thought that the season of political crimes in Huitzilac was a drama limited to Netflix, real life has just surpassed fiction. The body of Hernán Jesús García, who at some point dreamed of running this Morelos municipality (yes, the one that borders CDMX and looks like the scene of Narcos), was found in a ravine next to the Santa Martha-Lagunas de Zempoala highway. Nothing like a natural landscape to contrast with human brutality.

Shooting, no signal and zero surprises

The script of this crime is as predictable as a soap opera ending: neighbors heard gun shots (because in Mexico, that is already the background soundtrack), they called the Morelos Police, and when they arrived, they only found the former candidate with several shot wounds and zero vital signs. The paramedics, in “we’re late, as always” mode, confirmed the obvious.

To add more forensic drama, the Expert Services collected expected shell casings (presumably from long weapons, because in this country even murderers prefer the XL format). Of course, the lack of signal in the area left the police in mode “Did they kill him in a car or did they throw him away like a garbage bag?”. Questions that will surely remain in limbo along with other investigation folders of the Prosecutor’s Office.

Huitzilac: the municipality where politics is extreme sport

This year, Huitzilac seems to compete for the title of “place with the most public servants converted into moving targets”. In April, they killed the general secretary of the City Council, Alejandro Mancilla Cueto; In May, they shot his brother Luis (former Commissioner of Communal Property) to death. And if that were not enough, in January, five people were executed during a local election. The prize? A position in the commissariat. What an incentive.

While the Prosecutor’s Office opens another folder for intentional homicide (spoiler: it will probably be filed in the drawer of “cases with invisible culprits”), the neighbors remain trapped between helplessness and the normalization of violence. Because in Mexico, even political death is trending topic.

Economy and energy: the president’s announcements

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that, for the first time, Mexico has projects for 32 thousand megawatts of additional electrical capacity, of which 70% are renewable. “When we leave the government, natural gas consumption will decrease and energy generated by renewable resources will increase,” he stated.

Sheinbaum also highlighted economic growth. According to Inegi, the Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE) rose 1.2% in April compared to March, the best advance since 2021. The annual rate reached 2.2%. The president attributed this to the boost in construction, especially the housing program.

Regarding inflation, the president pointed out that it fell to 3.55% annually in the first half of June, its lowest level since October 2025. This is due, she said, to agreements with gas stations to set maximum fuel prices and the Package Against Inflation and Scarcity (Pacic) to control the basic basket.

Energy transition with 32 thousand megawatts

The Secretary of Energy, Luz Elena González, explained that by 2030 32 thousand megawatts will be added; 22 thousand will be renewable. The goal is for at least 38% of generation to be clean to meet climate commitments. He assured that the CFE will maintain its majority participation, providing 61% of the electricity at the end of the six-year term.

The director of CFE, Emilia Calleja, explained the projects. In Baja California Sur, the Oasis System will combine solar energy, batteries and green hydrogen to supply Mulegé and 40 thousand homes. It includes a 72 megawatt plant, 20 megawatt storage and will produce 120 cubic meters of water per year, avoiding 94 thousand tons of CO2.

In Sonora, the “Rafael Galván” photovoltaic plant in Puerto Peñasco will reach one thousand megawatts of capacity and 246 megawatts of storage. It currently provides 400 megawatts. The investment exceeds 1.4 billion dollars. “They are environmental benefits that strengthen energy sovereignty,” concluded Secretary González.

Controversy over an interview with Monsiváis reaches the Senate and the Palace

The republication of a 1999 interview unleashes accusations between the Executive and legislators.

| 1 min reading

The republication of an old interview attributed to Carlos Monsiváis climbed to the center of the Mexican political debate this Wednesday. The issue was discussed both in the Senate and in President Claudia Sheinbaum’s morning conference.

The original text was written by journalist Edmundo Cázares in 1999 and recently republished by El Universal. It contains statements about the then head of Government Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Its veracity and context have been questioned, generating conflicting positions.

Sheinbaum describes the content as “grotesque”

During her conference, the president harshly criticized the publication. He described the content as “grotesque” and accused the medium of generating a controversy that distorts the tribute to the Mexican intellectual.

Reactions in the Senate

The issue also reached Congress. Senator Lilly Téllez read fragments of the text on the platform. In response, Gerardo Fernández Noroña rejected its use and maintained that it was a false publication with the intention of political attack.

The exchange reflects the polarization around the figure of López Obrador and the use of historical documents as partisan weapons.

PRI demands urgent action against violence in Guerrero

They denounce an incursion of armed civilians in Coyuca de Catalán; party calls for state intervention.

| 1 min reading

The national leadership of the PRI demanded that the Mexican State intervene urgently in response to the complaint by inhabitants of the Guajes de Ayala ejido, in Coyuca de Catalán, Guerrero. The residents reported the incursion of armed civilians into their community in the Sierra.

Call for safety

Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, president of the party, asked the authorities to guarantee the safety of the families. He warned that these events should not be normalized due to the risk they represent for the civilian population.

The leader pointed out that in various communities in Guerrero they live under siege by armed groups. This has caused displacement, confinement of inhabitants and a constant climate of fear and uncertainty. He considered an immediate response from the State necessary.

Moreno Cárdenas also criticized the federal government for minimizing the situation of violence in the country. He affirmed that the population faces conditions of insecurity that require priority attention to restore the rule of law in the region.
