MEXICO: Macabre discovery puts pressure on Sheinbaum
Saturation coverage of the tariffs threat from the US has somewhat overshadowed but not eclipsed a story that would otherwise be dominating the headlines in Mexico: the discovery of three secret makeshift crematoriums in the western state of Jalisco at a ranch in an area controlled by the organised criminal group Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). President Claudia Sheinbaum described the find as “terrible” in her morning press conference on 10 March but questions are being asked about why it took a collective of relatives of missing people to make the discovery and how the municipal and state authorities could have been unaware. A similar discovery in the northern state of Tamaulipas by another local collective has put pressure on Sheinbaum to come up with answers.
