President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that Rafael Marín has left the position of General Director of Customs for personal reasons. However, the head of state indicated that this official will continue in other tasks from Yucatán. 'Rafael Marín left the General Directorate of Customs. He had told me that he wanted to stay for exactly one year, in fact, he had been there a little longer. He was in charge of the Digital Transformation Agency to handle all customs transformation,' she added. Therefore, President Sheinbaum detailed that Romero Gutiérrez has a master's degree in finance and energy markets from the University of Edinburgh, and is an engineer in sustainable development from the Tecnológico de Monterrey. Likewise, he has a diploma in economic competition from the Center for Economic Research and Teaching; he was General Director of Telecommunications Policy for the Digital Transformation Agency, and an expert consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank. Meanwhile, the new head was Deputy Director of Commercial Strategy for the Federal Electricity Commission, a member of the Board of Directors of Alta en redes, and a tenured professor at the Tecnológico de Monterrey. 'On the contrary, he did an extraordinary job. Customs increased its collection impressively in 2025,' she highlighted. Who is Héctor Alonso Romero? During her 'Morning' conference, Sheinbaum announced that the position of head of the Customs Agency will be held by Héctor Alonso Romero Gutiérrez, who was in charge of the Transformation Agency of that dependency. 'He has a long history, he is very young but has already been working in customs for some time. So, he will help us in Yucatán as a delegate of Bienestar or Gobernación,' she commented. From the National Palace, the head of state defended the official's work and described his performance as extraordinary, given that during his tenure the General Directorate of Customs increased its revenue. 'He lives in Quintana Roo and is going to Yucatán. This is in response to those who say he is leaving for electoral reasons or that he did a bad job.'
