On February 9, 2026, Claudia Sheinbaum conducted her regular morning press conference from Palacio Nacional, where she responds to the public and the press. During this conference, she was joined by Iván Escalante, the head of the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco). This routine briefing typically starts at 7:30 AM, and Mondays are designated for the Profeco report.

A significant topic covered during the conference was the recent arrest of Diego Rivera, the mayor of Tequila, Jalisco. President Sheinbaum defended her political party, Morena, stating that they do not protect criminals, despite the controversy surrounding Rivera's arrest. She noted that the party had carefully vetted Rivera's candidacy by requesting information from both the federal and state prosecutors, which yielded no ongoing investigations against him at the time of his nomination.

Additionally, Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch announced his upcoming visit to Uruapan, further emphasizing the government's commitment to maintaining public safety. Sheinbaum's discussions during the conference underline her administration's approach to governance and the importance of transparency within the political framework in Mexico, especially concerning public trust and accountability.
