Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is leading her morning press conference on February 24 from the National Palace, where she is expected to present electoral reform as previously committed. The conference comes in light of recent violent incidents, notably the attempted arrest of criminal leader El Mencho, indicating that security issues will also be a major topic of discussion.

During the prior day’s conference, President Sheinbaum dedicated her time to detailing the events of a major operation that led to the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as ‘El Mencho.’ The operation’s conclusion sparked concern among the public, especially regarding security measures and the implications of such violence on civil safety. Although authorities confirmed El Mencho's identity, there was no presentation of definitive proof in the press room, which raises questions about the transparency of the government's handling of the situation.

The issue of the government's approach towards organized crime and public safety has become increasingly pressing, prompting Sheinbaum and her cabinet members to shift focus towards addressing these issues in the context of the upcoming electoral reforms. This blends the political landscape with the reality of insecurity, indicating that the administration is navigating complex challenges that blend governance with security in Mexico’s current socio-political climate.
