Reporting and context
Azteca Noticias has called for Attorney General Ernestina Godoy to resign after President Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged that roughly 59 million liters of fuel seized by federal prosecutors were legally held, according to the outlet's commentary published October 21.
According to Azteca Noticias, Godoy announced the seizure on September 17 and presented it as the largest operation against stolen fuel during the presidential term. The outlet said the fuel was stored in 10 tanks and comprised 33.5 million liters of regular gasoline, 18.2 million liters of diesel and 7.2 million liters of premium gasoline. Those figures total 58.9 million liters, rounded to 59 million in the commentary.
Azteca Noticias reported that the company had maintained from the outset that its storage was lawful and subsequently substantiated that position with permits. The commentary criticized the Federal Attorney General's Office for announcing a major seizure before establishing the fuel's legal status.
The demand for Godoy's departure is the outlet's position. The original text does not report that she resigned; it argues that the reversal should have consequences for her leadership.
