The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, created controversy by describing the journalism of Anabel Hernández as "lacking basis" during her morning conference. Some internet users supported this stance, labeling Sheinbaum's intervention as a "silencing."
On the other hand, social media users pointed out Anabel Hernández's involvement in the asylum case of the judge related to the disappearance of the students in Ayotzinapa. However, another group of users recalled the journalist's statements about the closeness of Juan Pablo Penilla, lawyer for Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, with members of the Morena party, including Claudia Sheinbaum.
In response to these accusations, various figures, such as Deputy Ricardo Monreal, denied any connection with Juan Pablo Penilla. President Sheinbaum also denied knowing this person, asserting that Anabel Hernández's statements lacked credibility.
Sheinbaum's position sparked mixed opinions on social media, where her defense against the journalist’s accusations was discussed. She also referenced the PRIAN candidate, Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, who presented Anabel Hernández's book during a presidential debate, attempting to discredit Morena.
In summary, Sheinbaum's statement ignited an online debate regarding the journalistic integrity of Anabel Hernández and her alleged connection with prominent members of Morena. The President of Mexico has defended her stance, dismissing the journalist's claims as a form of "fiction" rather than journalism.
