In Spain, at the Casa de América, an event was held on the economic, political, and social development of Mexico in the 20th century. The event became a source of pride for opponents of Sheinbaum Pardo and Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The person Lomelí chose to engage in dialogue about his work was Enrique Krauze. "These events hurt us, but fortunately, the great majority of young people are studying and are concerned about their future," Lomelí said. According to initial investigations and analysis by experts from the Mexico City Prosecutor's Office, the objective is to 'oust' the current rector of the main educational institution, Leonardo Lomelí Vanegas, whom political and power groups within the institution 'do not respect' or 'recognize,' according to the analysis. The weekly reported. "The UNAM rector takes 26 hours to react to the violence at CCH Sur," La Jornada headlined a note criticizing Leonardo Lomelí, who by September 26 had to send the message that the university "is not overwhelmed by acts of violence." By that date, in addition to the case of incel Lex Ashton, the suicide of a university student named Jorge González Rafael in the Metro became known, and a brawl involving three people inside the Faculty of Higher Studies Acatlán made it to the national press. Then, on October 22, Lomelí presented his most recent book, titled 'Mexico: Revolution and Reconstruction.' This occurred amidst the official silence from the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum. And of course, the criticism from the ruling party was not long in coming. "And, of course, we will always have to correct what needs to be corrected, but in no way could I say that we are overwhelmed, especially if we see how many millions of students we have in the classrooms," he said. But this was only the beginning. "Since then, he has participated in various political and social platforms in defense of the vote, judicial independence, and human rights," the text read. "The projection made by the investigating authorities regarding this problem is that the threats will escalate, since having managed to close the educational centers, they now seek to organize marches and protests with the slogan of reinforcing 'security' in all faculties and preparatory schools of the UNAM. Here, opinions were not benevolent towards the rector of the university either." In this week's new issue of the weekly Proceso, a report was published in which investigations by the Mexico City Prosecutor's Office point to a 'swarm' of people operating with disposable cell phones and SIM cards, spreading threats with the purpose of destabilizing the institution and 'taking advantage of the crisis' to force changes in the Rectorate, that is, to 'oust the rector.' Several controversies have accumulated over these months that have impacted the country's main educational institution. Lomelí Vanegas himself was involved in his own scandals, starting with the National University's congratulations to María Corina Machado after it was announced that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Venezuelan opposition leader in early October. Lomelí resists those calling for 'universal suffrage' while reforming the UNAM statutes. UNAM published a post on its networks summarizing Machado's career since she founded Súmate in 2002, an organization that challenged the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. During those protests, members of the so-called Black Block, who would 'disrupt' the protests, were already identified, the report read. To begin, on September 22 of last year, a 19-year-old young man named Lex Ashton Cañedo López murdered a classmate and injured a worker at CCH Sur. Although it was a video conference, the original idea included the rector traveling to Madrid along with the opposition intellectual to the 4T, at the request of the event's organizer, the representative of UNAM in Spain, Ciro Murayama, a former opposing INE commissioner.
