Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico City, addressed multiple issues during recent public statements. She emphasized that the release of Israel Vallarta, who spent nearly 20 years in prison without a sentence on kidnapping charges, was ordered by a judge, not by her administration or the federal government. Vallarta, now absolved, has expressed a desire to confront journalist Carlos Loret de Mola regarding unresolved matters dating back to 2005. He also highlighted inconsistencies in witness testimonies and recounted experiences of torture, calling for profound reforms in Mexico. Meanwhile, Sheinbaum announced that the Chihuahua Prosecutor's Office is handling the case of the Plenitud crematorium, with Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez tasked to liaise with victims' families through the Commission of Victims. The president also confirmed that the extradition process for the detained owner of the ABC daycare in the United States is underway, though it is unclear if a formal request has been made. Additionally, Omar Reyes Colmenares, a close associate of national security official Omar García Harfuch, was named head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), a move seen as consolidating police influence over the agency. Sheinbaum acknowledged challenges in assuming control of the UIF, which was previously led by Pablo Gómez. On social issues, data from INEGI revealed that four out of ten Mexican families do not own their homes, with low-income households spending a third of their income on rent, impacting expenditures on food and health. Sheinbaum also responded to a New York Times report on Adán Augusto López, stating that her government does not protect anyone without evidence. Finally, Sheinbaum declined to meet with Israel Vallarta personally but stressed the importance of remembering the circumstances of his detention.
