President Claudia Sheinbaum's mañanera on Thursday saw her address a recent poll that purportedly found the majority of Mexicans favoring U.S. intervention against drug cartels. She dismissed the poll as "having no basis in reality," citing professional polling firms' results. This dismissal comes amid speculation of potential unilateral action by the U.S. against Mexican cartels, given that eight have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government.
Sheinbaum also touched on her Independence Day outfit, explaining her preference for recycling her clothes through alterations by seamstresses. Meanwhile, Civil Protection chief Laura Velázquez announced the nationwide earthquake drill set to take place at 12 p.m. Saturday across all 32 states, commemorating the anniversaries of the 1985 and 2017 earthquakes.
The drill's aftermath will be reviewed by the national emergencies committee led by Security Minister Omar García Harfuch.
