Mexico sets sail for Venezuela with humanitarian aid after earthquakes

President Claudia Sheinbaum supported the Mexican Soccer Team on its way to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. He did it with a message on social networks.

“All of Mexico supporting our National Team!! Remember everyone, enjoy this beautiful night responsibly,” he wrote in X.

The decisive match will be played tonight at the Mexico City Stadium. The rival: England. The time: 7:00 p.m. At stake is a ticket to the next round of the FIFA World Cup.

The president not only expressed her support. He also emphasized the importance of taking care of the environment during the celebration. A call for moderation in the midst of football euphoria.

Mexico reaches this stage after a solid group stage. The fans have responded with enthusiasm. The authorities anticipate a high concentration of people in the sports venue and its surroundings.

Without providing further details, Sheinbaum made it clear that his administration supports the national team. But he also remembered that the party must be orderly. A direct message, without detours.

Detention in San Pedro Garza García

The former mayor of Múzquiz, Coahuila, Tania Vanessa Flores Guerra, was arrested on Saturday night in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. The arrest warrant was requested by the Coahuila Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

The Nuevo León prosecutor’s office confirmed that the capture was carried out by detectives from the State Investigation Agency, in collaboration with authorities from Coahuila, in the San Agustín neighborhood.

Investigation for embezzlement

Flores Guerra is being investigated for the crimes of embezzlement and abusive exercise of functions. The diversion of resources amounts to 15 million pesos, according to the investigation folder.

After her arrest, the former official was sent to a Social Reintegration Center in Coahuila. He was placed at the disposal of a control judge who is handling the criminal process.

During the initial hearing, the defense requested an extension of the deadline to resolve its connection to the process. The continuation of the hearing was scheduled for July 9.

The judge issued justified preventive detention as a precautionary measure. Therefore, the former mayor will remain hospitalized while the judicial process progresses.

Reinforced security in the heart of the capital

The Angel of Independence and Paseo de la Reforma woke up on Sunday under an unprecedented security operation. Thousands of police and mayoral officials guarded the area prior to the World Cup round of 16 match between Mexico and England.

The measure responds to the death of four fans that occurred five days earlier, during the massive celebrations for Mexico’s victory against Ecuador. The capital authorities doubled the number of agents: 6,000 in Reforma —double than in the previous game—, 7,500 in the Azteca Stadium and 3,300 in the Zócalo.

Early on, hundreds of fans wearing green t-shirts and Mexican flags entered the area after security checks. Among them, the students Daniela Oliveros, 22, and Christopher Pino, 18, arrived from Chilpancingo, Guerrero.

“It’s going to be good,” said Pino, confident of victory. Oliveros was more cautious: “No matter what happens, we are going to be with the national team.”

Both supported the deployment. “I hope people behave well,” Pino said.

The events that motivated the operation

On the night of June 30, three people died from asphyxiation in the streets near Reforma: two women aged 19 and 44 and a man aged 48. In addition, a 35-year-old fan died in the hospital from cardiorespiratory arrest after suffering epilepsy and digestive bleeding. The capital’s Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the four deaths.
