Sheinbaum hospital plan: 9,139 new beds by 2030

Elements of the Secretary of the Navy rescued two people who were left adrift on a jet ski with mechanical failures. The incident occurred off the coast of Veracruz, in the vicinity of Isla Salmedina.

The operation

The Naval Search, Rescue and Maritime Surveillance Station (ENSAR) Veracruz received an emergency call. They reported a jet ski with a breakdown that prevented its safe movement. There were two crew members on board.

Given the warning, a Defender-type rescue vessel was ordered to set sail. Personnel specialized in maritime search and rescue operations went to the scene. When they arrived, they found the crew. Due to the low draft in the area, rescue swimmers recovered them.

Once the maneuver was completed, the jet ski was towed to the facilities of the Heroic Naval Military School. There, the two crew members were evaluated by Naval Health personnel from the Antón Lizardo Naval Hospital. Both were in good health. The operation concluded successfully.

Hundreds of teachers led a peaceful march to the Azteca stadium before the Colombia-Uzbekistan match for the 2026 World Cup. The police blocked access with concrete barriers, cranes and trucks to prevent their progress.

The mobilization did not reach the stadium, but it generated heavy congestion in the surrounding area. Those attending the game had to take a detour and walk several kilometers.

Security operation and official response

Some 11,219 troops were deployed in the capital, with reinforcements from horse police in Azteca. The Secretary of Security, Pablo Vázquez, reported that almost 8,000 would guard the stadium and the rest the historic center, where a festival of supporters was set up.

The deployment occurs six days after the protests during the opening of the World Cup, when teachers, searchers for the missing and activists demonstrated. On that occasion, the forces blocked their advance without major setbacks.

The National Coordinator of Education Workers called for new mobilizations to increase pressure. The federal government called the unions to a dialogue table.

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced teleworking in the public sector and suspension of classes in Mexico City and Guadalajara to avoid congestion during matches.

Groups of relatives of missing people have also protested to demand attention to the crisis that has accumulated 135,000 cases.

The Nuevo León Attorney General’s Office began an investigation after receiving complaints about the marketing of apocryphal tickets for a 2026 World Cup match in Monterrey.

Prosecutor Javier Flores Saldívar reported that four affected people filed complaints. Three are Mexicans and one is an Italian citizen. All of them allegedly purchased fake tickets to attend the World Cup match.

The tickets corresponded to the match between Sweden and Tunisia, played on Sunday at the Monterrey Stadium. According to a source close to the case, since the start of the tournament on June 11, the Prosecutor’s Office has accumulated 14 complaints for different incidents.

Other incidents during the World Cup

In addition to the cases of fraud, three cell phone thefts and the theft of a bag were reported at the Fundidora Park Fan Fest. A complaint was also filed for a glass smash in the vicinity of the Monterrey Stadium.

The authorities keep the investigation open to identify those responsible for the illegal sale of tickets.
