Sheinbaum sees high approval, unveils investments, rejects US cartel accusations
A Mitofsky poll shows President Claudia Sheinbaum receiving 58.3% approval among residents of Michoacán, while state governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla recorded a 51.2% approval rating.
In the State of Mexico, Sheinbaum announced a new investment of about 110 billion pesos, added to the existing 95 billion‑peso annual Bienestar programmes. Security authorities reported that the unified command operation detained 3,300 people, seized more than 1,300 kg of cocaine, 819 firearms and over 28,000 ammunition cartridges across 15 priority municipalities.
During a press conference, Sheinbaum responded to US White House deputy chief Stephen Miller’s claim that Mexican cartels control the country’s political and judicial systems. She urged the United States to “look at itself” on drug consumption and money‑laundering, declined to debate Miller personally, and affirmed that Mexico’s government serves its own citizens.
