Overview

• Marking her first year, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered two contrasting messages, a hard‑edged Veracruz address to military and top officials equating corruption with treason and a crowd‑oriented report in Mexico City’s Zócalo.
• Commentators read the Veracruz remarks as a warning to powerful figures within her movement despite no names being given, and they pointed to internal strains that could test follow‑through.
• Mexico’s fiscal prosecutor told Congress that fuel smuggling in the previous administration caused damage exceeding 600 billion pesos, underscoring the stakes of ongoing customs and fuel‑trafficking investigations.
• Coverage highlights scrutiny of the Navy’s role in those probes, with reporting noting suspicions involving former Navy secretary Admiral Rafael Ojeda during the prior term.
• Critics say the first‑year report downplayed the so‑called huachicol fiscal and omitted key figures cited in media, while the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances opened an Article 34 process over Mexico after documenting more than 133,000 missing people.
