Morena demands unity in the face of deaths of compatriots

The national president of Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, accused the opposition parties of “bargaining” unity from Mexico in the face of the cases of 17 compatriots who died in the custody of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).

During a press conference, the Morenoist leader pointed out that the call to close ranks to demand answers from the US government must be above partisan and ideological differences. He considered that it is about the defense of the rights of Mexicans abroad.

Montiel Reyes affirmed that the opposition’s position reflects a lack of commitment to the country. He described it as “petty” that some leaders do not fully support the call for unity made by President Claudia Sheinbaum to address cases of alleged abuses against Mexican migrants.

The Morena leader maintained that the protection of fellow citizens must be a priority issue for all political forces. He called for placing national interests above partisan disputes.

Permanent support from the Women’s Secretariat

The Women’s Secretariat reported that it will continue to provide comprehensive care, advice and psychosocial support services to María Felicia Jiménez, wife of the former director of Petróleos Mexicanos, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla. The support will be maintained if she requests it, within the judicial process she faces for alleged family violence.

In a statement, the agency clarified that any support will be granted with full respect for the will, autonomy and dignity of Dr. Jiménez. She also reiterated her commitment to assisting women who experience situations of violence through specialized protection mechanisms.

Decision not to attend hearing

The statement occurred after María Felicia Jiménez reported that she would not attend the hearing scheduled to ratify the pardon granted to her husband. He argued that he faces a strong media siege and seeks to protect his privacy and that of his children, especially that of his minor son.

The authorities keep open the possibility for the victim to access services when they consider it necessary. The case has generated public attention due to the power links of those involved, although the Secretariat assures that its actions are based on technical and human rights criteria.

Changes in the FGR

Ulises Lara López left the ownership of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Investigation of Relevant Matters and the spokesperson of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR). This was reported by federal sources. His departure occurred just six months after taking office.

According to the sources consulted, the separation was due to personal reasons. The specific causes were not detailed.

Lara López was appointed in January 2026 by Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos. He headed the Relevant Affairs area and served as spokesperson for the institution. Before, he collaborated with Godoy Ramos in the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City, where he held various positions. After his appointment, he thanked the trust and assured that he would continue working for justice.

During the administration of former prosecutor Alejandro Gertz Manero, Lara López was part of the FGR structure as a state delegate in Morelos. From there he participated in tasks related to federal investigations.
