Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum firmly rebuked U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's assertion that large areas of Mexico are controlled by cartels, dismissing the remarks as politically motivated ahead of the November U.S. midterms. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico should not be used as a campaign issue by U.S. political parties.
As Mexico's electoral cycle commences for the 2026-27 elections, Sheinbaum urged political candidates to adhere to the law and refrain from exchanges filled with insults, focusing on proposals instead. Sheinbaum expressed condolences to the family and colleagues of federal deputy Zenyazen Escobar García, who was found dead with a gunshot wound last Friday.
The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) is investigating his death and will provide further details soon.
