Sheinbaum Presses FGR to Expedite Tren Interoceánico Probe, Seeks International Safety Approval Before Reopening

The Navy-run line derailed on Dec. 28 in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, leaving 14 reported deaths with official conclusions pending.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum asked federal prosecutors to speed their work so full reparations for victims can proceed without delay.
  • She requested Navy Secretary Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles engage an international certifier to clear the track before service resumes.
  • The Fiscalía General de la República has opened an investigation ex officio, with determinations awaiting reports from federal experts.
  • Sheinbaum said victims may hire private lawyers but stressed it is unnecessary for compensation and cautioned about percentage-based fees.
  • She noted the service is operated by the Navy and said financial responsibility is shared between the insurer and the government.
