Overview
- Speaking from Palacio Nacional, President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized a PAN legislator’s plan to denounce the Mexican government in Washington over alleged authoritarianism and protection of drug traffickers.
- PAN spokesperson Jorge Triana said the party filed complaints with Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office and in Washington seeking investigations into an alleged link between the so‑called ‘bloque negro’ and the federal government.
- Sheinbaum asserted her administration is not authoritarian and said opposition groups have freely protested and enjoy broad access to national media.
- The confrontation stems from the Nov. 15 Generación Z march in Mexico City, after which news reports said about 100 police officers were injured during clashes near security barriers at the National Palace.
- Earlier, PAN deputy Raúl Torres appealed to U.S. and European institutions and used Trump‑style theatrics, including a ‘Make México Safe Again’ sign, to draw foreign attention to his claims.
