Claudia Sheinbaum faces criticism over Mexico City tragedies

An opinion piece criticizes Claudia Sheinbaum regarding her administrative record in Mexico City, specifically citing her involvement in past tragedies. The author alleges that Sheinbaum avoided accountability for the 2017 Colegio Rébsamen collapse and the 2021 Metro Line 12 derailment, which resulted in 29 deaths.

The text claims that the investigation into the Metro collapse was influenced by political pressure from Andrés Manuel López Obrador. It further alleges that the Mexico City administration paid approximately 15.3 million pesos to the Norwegian firm Det Norske Veritas (DNV) as a settlement to conclude their technical investigation without revealing the full extent of responsibility for the tragedy.
