These are the “Affected Municipalities” that Sheinbaum did not want to be mentioned

On Monday, October 13th, during her morning press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum instructed Secretary of Health David Kershenobich Stalnikowitz not to use the term “affected municipalities” during his report.

The president had her microphone on, so all of Mexico heard her give the order, and the scene went viral on social media. This highlighted the constant tendency of Morena politicians to manipulate the situation and misinform citizens.

“AFFECTED MUNICIPALITIES” – THE COMPLETE LIST THAT SHEINBAUM DIDN’T WANT TO BE MENTIONED

The embarrassing moment when she forgot to turn off her microphone and all of Mexico heard her order to censure Secretary of Health David Kershenobich Stalnikowitz. On Sunday she promised transparency, on Monday she asked to hide it.

The day before, the same Secretary of Health had said “Huachinango” (like the fish) instead of Huauchinango and “Costa Rica” instead of Poza Rica.

The tragedy cannot be hidden with a poorly turned-off microphone. Every municipality has a name, every victim has a family, and every lost home is a destroyed heritage.
