Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has addressed recent technical incidents involving the Tren Maya railway project. She rejected allegations that the issues stem from poor infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, or low-quality materials, instead attributing the incidents primarily to “human error.”

While acknowledging that two trains experienced technical problems with specific equipment, Sheinbaum stated these issues were addressed in coordination with the company Alstom. She maintained that the system continues to operate normally under the supervision of the Agencia de Transporte Ferroviario. To counter misinformation, the federal government has requested a detailed report from the Tren Maya director regarding preventive and corrective maintenance work.
