President Sheinbaum faces criticism over historical error

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum faced criticism following a historical error during a national tour. While delivering a speech to mark the anniversary of the consummation of Mexican Independence, the President conflated the Plan de Ayala, associated with Emiliano Zapata during the Mexican Revolution, with the Plan de Iguala, which concluded the struggle for independence.

The remarks were made during the conclusion of a 12-day tour where the President highlighted government successes and emphasized national sovereignty. Critics noted the inaccuracy in her historical timeline, specifically regarding the distinction between the independence era and the revolutionary period that occurred a century later.
