El Financiero ·

The claims and characterizations remain attributed to the columnist.

Opinion column says Sheinbaum has weathered another difficult summer

President Claudia Sheinbaum is approaching the third year of her administration after a summer marked by political controversies and scandals, according to an opinion column by Salvador Camarena published by El Financiero. The column argues that the latest pressures have tested the authority of a president whose governing system is highly concentrated in the executive branch.

El Financiero reported that the summer was preceded by the crisis involving Sinaloa Gov. Rubén Rocha and nine other officials whom the United States requested in late April over alleged collusion with drug trafficking. The column says the scandal forced requests for leave from the governor and Culiacán's mayor, while Sen. Enrique Inzunza spent months largely out of public view. It also says Rocha reversed an attempt to resume his post after 34 hours.

Camarena discusses a letter Andy López Beltrán sent to Donald Trump on Aug. 13 after, according to the column, López Beltrán said his visa had been revoked. The piece connects that controversy with other allegations and political disputes involving Morena figures, including the La Barredora case in Tabasco and fuel theft allegations involving a former Navy secretary and two nephews. These are the column's characterizations and claims, not independent findings established by this report.
