After a year of popularity, Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is facing major challenges following the disasters caused by torrential rains, which led to landslides and the destruction of infrastructure. Although Sheinbaum has been present on the ground to coordinate recovery operations, criticism is focused on the initial response of the authorities, which was slow in providing the necessary aid. Political analyst Antonio Ocaranza highlights a competence issue in crisis management.
Additionally, the disasters have raised questions about the government's dependence on the military for managing responsibilities, after Sheinbaum's predecessor abolished the Natural Disaster Fund, which has raised concerns about funding sources for emergency situations. Sheinbaum stated that the government has 19 billion pesos available for emergencies, of which part has already been used. Government aid will be provided in two phases, and opposition deputy Gibran Ramirez criticized the government's response, considering it unprepared and improvised.
