In response to the assassination of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the public on Sunday, calling for calm amidst widespread violence and civil unrest. Following El Mencho's death, there were numerous reports of road blockages and violent protests erupting across various regions of Mexico, posing a significant challenge to public safety and order.

Sheinbaum assured citizens of the government's rigorous coordination with state authorities to manage the situation effectively. She emphasized that, despite these disturbances, life continues with 'full normalcy' in most parts of the country. Her administration is committed to providing ongoing updates through official channels from the Security Cabinet, aiming to keep citizens informed and mitigated against panic in the face of violence.

The situation remains fluid, as the government closely monitors the responses from the CJNG and potential further repercussions of El Mencho's death. The president's appeal for calm highlights the fragile state of security in Mexico, where drug cartels exert significant influence and can provoke widespread unrest through their actions.
