A school collapse that killed 19 children in a 2017 earthquake happened on her watch as a district mayor of Mexico City. She filed a criminal complaint accusing two prior attorneys for the district of failing to enforce the law after discovering illegal construction, and became Mexico City Mayor in 2018. Now, Lopez Obrador has backed her decision to use the National Guard, in a clear sign of support for her.

She also called for the prosecutor's office to be sanctioned, without elaborating further. The case highlights Mexico's longstanding problem with deadly violence against women, including femicide, or the murder of women or girls on basis of their gender. Federal prosecutors on Monday issued an expert opinion concluding Lopez died from a blow to the head, saying they could not support the assessment of the Morelos prosecutor's office. The prosecutor's office in Morelos told Reuters on Tuesday denied cover-up allegations, adding it was up to the judicial system to decide which autopsy should prevail. The federal prosecutors advised that a criminal investigation should continue under Mexico City authorities.

Mexico City has seen an influx of people migrating to the historic metropolis, especially during the pandemic when remote work made it possible to work from different places. Currently, 1.6 million Americans live in Mexico, according to the State Department, and Mexico City is the fifth rated destination for digital nomads globally, according to nomadlist.com. He emphasized Mexico City isn’t cheap, but in comparison to other countries digital nomads are migrating from, it’s considerably more affordable. “If you’re making your salary in U.S. dollars, pounds, Canadian dollars, you’re better off living in Mexico City.” Romero said. He believes those areas with higher numbers of digital nomads are already economically out of reach for most of the locals.

REUTERS/Luis CortesMEXICO CITY, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Three American tourists were found dead last week in a Mexico City apartment they were renting after apparent carbon monoxide poisoning, Mexican authorities confirmed to Reuters on Wednesday. The Mexico City Attorney General's office, which opened an investigation into the deaths, said the victims' bodies were found Oct. 30 and that studies indicated they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Last month, Mexico City's government signed an agreement with the short-term rental site in what Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum described as an effort to boost the number of "digital nomads" coming to Mexico City.

The Morelos prosecutors' office could not immediately be reached for comment. Cyclists found Lopez's body in neighboring Morelos state days later and shared photos online to help identify her. "In this case it is evident the Morelos prosecutors' office wanted to hide the femicide, presumably because of links with the presumed killer," said Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum. "Without the intervention from Mexico City, this femicide would have gone unpunished."

☆ Could Mexico be on its way to electing its first woman president?
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +9 min

MEXICO CITY — The most historic legacy of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a left-leaning resource nationalist who casts his administration as a turning point in the annals of Mexico, may be to pave the way for the country’s first woman leader. President Lopez Obrador’s popularity stems from his personal, austere, simple way of governing,” Sheinbaum said. Many of Lopez Obrador’s biggest public works look increasingly like they will not be completed on his watch. One cloud hanging over MORENA domination is Mexico City, a bastion of the Mexican left which unites the president, Sheinbaum and Ebrard, who succeeded Lopez Obrador as mayor. In May 2021, a Mexico City metro overpass collapsed, killing or injuring dozens of people.

Average daily rates for short-term rentals across Mexico City jumped 27% to $93 in August 2022 compared with the same month in 2019, data from market research company AirDNA shows. Airbnb is also opening its platforms for Mexican residents to create tourism experiences around their daily activities, according to Sheinbaum. The partnership between Mexico City's government and Airbnb is also backed by UNESCO, United Nations' cultural agency.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Mexico's finance ministry has been tasked with refinancing the country's debt, especially bonds maturing in 2025, in order to help ease the financial burden on the next administration when it takes office, a senior official said. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had asked the ministry to refinance as much debt as possible, as well as to lower costs and extend maturities, Yorio said. Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum and Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard are among those jostling for the MORENA candidacy. The government would look for new opportunities to refinance or buy back external and domestic debt, he added. Yorio's team is also working to develop a local debt market built on sustainable bonds.

Where Mexico City has diverged is in its success in reducing gang-fuelled violence that has for years ravaged the country. In Mexico City it is on track to come down to half the 2018 total. Still, Sheinbaum said the improvement rested on close cooperation between city authorities and federal forces.
