Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the UN report on enforced disappearances is erroneous and does not reflect the current situation in the country, where tasks and approaches with the victims' families are being carried out. From the National Palace, the head of state clarified that the report analyzes the period between 2009 and 2017 — when the PAN and PRI were in power —, however, the results are 'extrapolated' to 2025. Sheinbaum also detailed that the analysis focuses on the states of Coahuila, Veracruz, Jalisco, and Nayarit, where some governors are already under arrest. 'So imagine an analysis of four states of the republic from 2009 to 2017, and the laws that existed then, the attention paid to the issue of the disappeared is extrapolated to 2025. That alone is a sufficient argument to say that their analysis is not very accurate,' she clarified. During her regular 'Morning' press conference, President Sheinbaum clarified that the committee that produced this report is not from the United Nations, but rather a team of experts linked to the UN. 'This is a committee that is not from the United Nations, it is a committee of experts who are linked to the United Nations, that is the first thing.'
