Former PT candidate arrested in Tabasco for alleged criminal ties

A prominent political leader faces justice after being linked to illegal activities, shaking the local scene.

An unexpected turn in the political career of Hiram Llergo

Life takes unpredictable turns, and today we are faced with news that shows that no one is exempt from accountability. Hiram Llergo Latournerie, a name that resonated strongly in the corridors of power in Tabasco, has been arrested for his alleged participation in criminal association. What does this teach us? That transparency and integrity are non-negotiable values, no matter how high you have climbed.

The details of the arrest

This Thursday, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) executed an arrest warrant against him, carried out by the Olmeca Interinstitutional Tactical Reaction Force (FIRT). The operation was carried out in the El Águila neighborhood, in Villahermosa, marking a before and after in the career of this political leader. Llergo, who until recently coordinated advisors for the Work Party (PT) in the state Congress, now faces a judicial process that could change his destiny.

In the images of his arrest, he is seen guarded by agents of the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), a visual reminder that justice does not distinguish positions or influences. Dressed in casual clothing—jeans, red shirt and tennis shoes—his figure contrasts with the solemnity of the moment.

Connections that raise questions

The most striking thing about this case is its political ties. Hiram is not an isolated actor: he is the brother of Mario Rafael Llergo, current head of the USICAMM in the SEP, and both have been key players on the Tabasco political board. His closeness to Adán Augusto López Hernández, former governor and leader of Morena in the Senate, adds another layer of complexity. To what extent do power networks influence these scenarios? A question that invites reflection.

Hiram had prominent roles: he was Secretary of Welfare during the López Hernández administration and a candidate for federal deputy in 2021. He even competed for mayor of Teapa this year, seeking to succeed his ex-partner, Alma Rosa Espadas, who opted for silence before the media. An act of prudence or one more script in this plot?

Lessons from this case

Beyond the headlines, this situation invites us to value ethics in public life. Every action has consequences, and when power mixes with the illicit, sooner or later the truth comes to light. Are we building a society where the law prevails over personal interests? Time will tell.

In the meantime, this case will continue to generate debate. What do you think? Share this note and help us keep the conversation going about the importance of accountability in politics. And be sure to explore more content like this in our national current affairs section!

The Museum of Teotihuacan Grandeza reopens after 20 years

After two decades closed, the museum reopens with unpublished pieces and an investment of 7 million pesos.

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 asks FGR to clarify Gilda Lozoya’s legal situation

President asks FGR for a public report on the criminal proceedings of Gilda Lozoya and the debt of Alonso Ancira.

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).

Cofepris alert: five beaches not suitable for swimming this summer

Five Mexican beaches not suitable for vacationers due to high bacterial levels.

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.
