Claudia Sheinbaum Urges Investigation on Disappearances

President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted that her administration acts with truth and justice, without political motivations. She reiterated this stance when referring to the accusations against the former governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, calling for calm and emphasizing that responsibilities will be clarified based on scientific evidence. In response to speculations, she highlighted the importance of waiting for the results of the investigation to determine what occurred.

In response to the criticism towards former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, labeling him as "narcopresident," Sheinbaum expressed her disagreement and asked to stop harassing him. She also pointed out opponents who forget relevant cases like that of Genaro García Luna and Felipe Calderón's role in the fight against drug trafficking.

Despite the criticisms received, the leader expressed solidarity with the families of the disappeared in the country, rejecting the notion that there are more disappearances than homicides in Mexico. Regarding the discovery of three clandestine ovens in a property in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, described as a "extermination site" by members of the collective Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, Sheinbaum recalled that the Attorney General's Office is investigating the case.

During the morning conference, Sheinbaum asked the media to wait for the official information that will be shared by the Attorney General next week. She warned against making speculations based on photographs and testimonies, underscoring the importance of basing conclusions on scientific evidence.
