Overview

  • At her Monday briefing, President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed she declined the item and said she does not know Ángel Aguirre nor wish to know him.
  • The exchange occurred in San José del Ejido, Ometepec, during a stop to greet local women, and was captured in video widely shared by media including Grupo Fórmula.
  • Sheinbaum said she accepts tokens from everyday residents but not presents routed through former officials, noting she has returned costly or politically suggestive gifts in the past.
  • SinEmbargo reported that the woman attempting to deliver the bag was identified in footage as Liz Díaz, spouse of morenista Eduardo Basilio Melo, a detail presented as outlet reporting.
  • Coverage noted Aguirre governed Guerrero during the 2014 Ayotzinapa disappearances, and no public response from him was reported in these accounts.
