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.

This Friday, President Claudia Sheinbaum received the rescuers who traveled to Venezuela to help the population after the recent earthquakes.

“Mexico will always be in solidarity with all the people of the world, and when there is a need to support, we will be there,” he declared.

Concrete support

In the morning conference from the National Palace, Sheinbaum explained that the first stage of rescue has practically concluded. Although the search for bodies continues, the initial emergency has already been attended to.

Mexico could send more assistance. Two ships with humanitarian aid – food and emergency electrical plants – are about to arrive in Venezuela.

A gift rescue dog

The president explained that Delcy Rodríguez, president in charge of Venezuela, donated a rescue dog to the Mexican brigade. This dog will be part of the search teams in Mexico.

Sheinbaum is preparing a reception ceremony at Military Air Base 1 for this afternoon, where the work of the rescue team will be recognized.
