Sheinbaum criticizes US processes as electoral interference

Sheinbaum accuses US interference after accusations against Morena officials.

President Claudia Sheinbaum hardened her stance against Washington by describing as interference the drug trafficking proceedings that the New York prosecutor’s office initiated against 10 Mexican officials, including members of Morena. During an event at the Monument to the Revolution, Sheinbaum pointed out that these actions seek to influence the 2027 elections.

“When from the outside it is dictated who is guilty and who is not. When we seek to pressure our institutions from the outside… we are no longer talking about cooperation, we are talking about interference,” he stated.

Accusations against officials

In April, the New York prosecutor’s office accused the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, mayor Juan de Dios Gámez and eight other active and retired officials of collaborating with the Sinaloa Cartel. The Mexican Attorney General’s Office conditioned the arrests on the US providing evidence. Rocha and Gámez temporarily separated from their positions; two former secretaries surrendered to US authorities.

Sheinbaum questioned the legitimacy of the process: “Is it really genuine interest in helping Mexico? Or perhaps sectors of the American right are seeking to position themselves towards their 2026 elections?”

Tense bilateral relations

Since 2025, Trump’s criticism of Mexico for the fight against organized crime and tariffs on the automotive, steel and copper industries have generated friction. Sheinbaum has managed to maintain a cordial relationship, but this time it was more frontal.

The president denounced a “media offensive” by national and international conservative sectors, intensified after the incident on April 19 in Chihuahua, where two CIA agents died in a car accident after an operation against a synthetic drugs laboratory. Mexico protested the presence of the agents without authorization.

Sheinbaum announces comprehensive plan against sargassum in Quintana Roo

Federal government launches plan against sargassum with support from the Navy and Tourism in Quintana Roo.

Plan against sargassum in Quintana Roo

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a comprehensive plan to clean the beaches of Quintana Roo of sargassum. It will start in 15 days and will be coordinated by the Secretariats of the Navy and Tourism.

“We went on a helicopter tour, the Navy lent us a helicopter, we went with the Secretary of the Navy to all the beaches, from Tulum to Puerto Morelos, to see the sargassum problem,” he declared from Playa del Carmen.

Sheinbaum explained that more boats will be purchased to capture sargassum at sea, a more effective method, and efforts will be made to recycle it to prevent it from affecting the beaches. The announcement occurred after delivering deeds to families in the Colosio neighborhood, as part of the Housing for Wellbeing program.

More actions in the entity

The president recalled that the six-year goal is to build 1.8 million homes, of which 57 thousand are contemplated in Quintana Roo. In addition, almost 5 million unpayable credits from Infonavit and Fovissste will be forgiven and restructured.

On the same tour, Sheinbaum presented the Tulum Renace Plan, which includes free entry to the Jaguar Park and new rates for the archaeological zone: 80 pesos for nationals and 265 for foreigners, according to the DOF.

The Secretary of Agrarian Development, Edna Elena Vega, reported that 504 documents of legal certainty were delivered in the Colosio neighborhood, totaling 2,397 deeds throughout the country. Governor Mara Lezama thanked the federal subsidy of 8 million pesos for the deeds.

Sebastiana Pérez, beneficiary of the program, expressed her gratitude for the legal certainty of her assets.

PRI deputy proposes extending paternity leave to 15 days

Initiative seeks to equalize parental rights and promote family co-responsibility.

PRI deputy Emilio Suárez Licona presented an initiative to extend paternity leave from five to 15 paid work days. The reform proposes to modify article 132 of the Federal Labor Law.

The proposal establishes that employers must grant paternity leave for the birth or adoption of a child. The objective is to strengthen the participation of parents in family care.

“Current legislation creates inequality by granting only five days of leave to fathers, while mothers have 84 days of maternity leave,” said the legislator.

Suárez Licona stated that the initiative seeks to guarantee more time for the comprehensive care and development of families. He recalled that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation has established criteria to advance in the approval of parental leave under the principle of the best interests of the child.

The deputy highlighted that countries such as Spain, Sweden and Norway have expanded paternity rights with models of greater family equality. In Mexico, the use of these licenses remains limited, so the reform aims to promote greater parental participation.

Ariadna Montiel responds to Maru Campos: “He has no moral authority”

Morena and the governor of Chihuahua clash over accusations of foreign interference and links to crime.

The national leader of Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, responded to criticism from the governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos Galván, who accused the ruling party of using the Baja California case to clean up its image. The conflict escalated after the broadcast of audios about the governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, and her possible link with FBI agents.

Crossed signs

Campos Galván published a video on social networks where he stated that the National Palace attempted to involve Chihuahua to divert attention. He demanded that the federal government “break the pact with crime” and said that the defense of the homeland must be above partisan interests.

In response, Montiel assured that Campos “does not have the moral authority” to talk about sovereignty. He accused her of having allowed the intervention of foreign agencies in security during her administration, mentioning joint operations with US authorities in Chihuahua.

Tension between parties

The Morenista leader maintained that the governor should not give lessons on national security. The exchange occurs in a context of disputes between Morena and opposition state governments over security issues and links with foreign forces. So far, there are no additional official statements.
