CARTEL HUNTING SEASON: Two Top Mexican Federal Officials Murdered in the Capital, President Claudia Shinbaum Confirms

Visibly shaken, Claudia Sheinbaum announces the murders of two of ther top aides.

While President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to refuse permission for US forces to go after the Cartels in their territory, and does not act against them, the criminal organizations have opened a veritable hunting season of politicians.

2024 saw a record 661 attacks on people and facilities related to politics, and this year also maintains the horrific pace.

A mayoral candidate in the southern state of Guerrero; the mayor of Cotija in Michoacán state; the mayor of Guerrero’s capital, Chilpancingo, was decapitated; a high-ranking the governing party, was shot and killed in Veracruz; a female mayoral candidate and her daughter gunned down in a livestream – the list goes on.

Now, the hitlist is getting closer and close to the president: a visibly shaken Sheinbaum confirmed today that Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz, her secretary and advisor, were murdered in Mexico City.

Watch: Sheinbaum is informed of the murders, as she was about to release a report on ‘the decrease in crime incidence’.

“It is very relevant, that is why we were communicating with the secretary. We had information, but it has already been confirmed. The head of government, Clara Brugada, just issued an informational card.

The government of Mexico City reports that unfortunately, the personal secretary of the head of government, Jimena Guzmán, and José Muñoz, an advisor to the head of government, lost their lives during a direct attack on Calzada de Tlalpan and Napoleon Street in the Moderna neighborhood of the Benito Juárez borough.

Personnel from the Citizen Security Secretariat and the Attorney General’s Office, both of Mexico City, with the support of the government of Mexico.

From the very beginning, Omar gave instructions to ensure they have all the support from the National Intelligence Center, from the Subsecretariat of Intelligence of the Secretariat, and of course from the Secretariat of Defense and Navy, all the support that the head of government needs for the investigation to get to the bottom of this situation, that there is no impunity.

With the support of the government of Mexico, they are already conducting the corresponding investigations to determine the motive of the aggression. Additionally, they are analyzing the surveillance cameras in the area to identify the probable culprits who are known to have traveled on a motorcycle, the aggressors. There will be no impunity; those responsible will be arrested and will have to face justice. From the government of Mexico City, we send our condolences.”
