In October 2026, Xalapa hosted the 5th National Meeting of Mexican Women Politicians at the Gran Hotel Xalapa. Organized by the Red Nacional de Mujeres Defensoras de la Paridad en Todo de la República Mexicana, the event focused on the theme ‘Substantive Equality without Political Violence’. The gathering aimed to enhance women's political participation and address gender-based political violence through discussions led by figures such as Marcela Lagarde y de los Ríos and Beatriz Paredes Rangel.

Concurrently, the Xalapa municipal administration, under Mayor Daniela Griego Ceballos, initiated various local infrastructure and community support projects. These included the inauguration of new sanitary facilities at Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Elementary School in San Antonio Paso del Toro and the distribution of agricultural tools, computer equipment, and other supplies to five rural congregations to support community development.
