Presidential Morning Press Conference: Sheinbaum addresses security, the economy, and the debate on narcocorridos; the presentation of "Mayito Flaco" to the US and the water crisis with Texas set the national tone.

The national agenda for this Wednesday, May 7, is dominated by the topics addressed in President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's morning press conference, which ranged from security strategy and economic strengthening to a sensitive cultural debate on narcocorridos. At the same time, two high-impact news items are resonating in the country: the confirmation of the extradition to the United States of Ismael Zambada Imperial, 'El Mayito Flaco', a key figure in the Sinaloa Cartel, and the growing tension over compliance with the water treaty with the United States, particularly with the state of Texas. Added to this are the effects of Cold Front Number 42, which is affecting various regions.

In her regular "People's Morning Press Conference," President Sheinbaum offered an overview of government actions:

* Security and Economy: The commitment to the national security strategy was reiterated, and efforts to strengthen the economy were highlighted, citing the positive impact of trade agreements such as the USMCA and recent high-level meetings with U.S. officials to address tariff and trade issues.

* Infrastructure and Social Programs: The Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation, Jesús Esteva, announced the completion of the first phase of the "Bachetón" program nationwide, with 288,694 potholes repaired and a public investment in road infrastructure totaling 369.814 billion pesos during the six-year term. The continuation of and investment in priority social programs focused on education and health was also confirmed.

* Narcocorrido Debate: In response to questions about the popular musical genre, President Sheinbaum expressed her position of not resorting to prohibition, opting instead to promote "other music" and strengthen education as tools to counter narratives that glorify violence. She announced the creation of the "Mexico Canta" program, stating that "sometimes prohibition is necessary, but education is better." This position seeks a balance between freedom of expression and the social responsibility of the State.

A piece of news that has shaken security circles is the confirmation, coming from sources within the Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) and reported in the Federal Judiciary Council's news summary, of the kidnapping in Culiacán, Sinaloa, and subsequent handover to United States authorities of Ismael Zambada Imperial, alias "El Mayito Flaco," son of the prominent leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.

This event is of great significance in the fight against transnational organized crime and is expected to have repercussions on the internal dynamics of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world. The removal of high-ranking figures often leads to violent reshuffles over control of territories and routes.

Another area of ​​national attention is the growing concern over compliance with international water treaties with the United States, specifically regarding scheduled shipments to the state of Texas. Reports indicate that President Sheinbaum's administration is preparing for a "battle for water" and has announced an investment of more than nine million dollars in hydraulic infrastructure, irrigation technology, and river cleanup.

The objective is to guarantee national supplies while simultaneously fulfilling international obligations in a context of drought and growing demand on both sides of the border. The management of this vital resource is emerging as a priority and potentially contentious issue in the bilateral relationship.

Meteorologically, Cold Front 42 is stationed over northeastern Mexico, generating various effects across the country. The following are forecast:

* Wind gusts of up to 80 km/h in the north and northwest.

* Heavy rainfall, lightning, hail, and potential for whirlwind development in Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.

* Intermittent showers, thunderstorms and possible hail in the northwest, east, southeast and center of the country.

* More significant rains in Oaxaca and Chiapas.

* Paradoxically, an anticyclonic circulation will maintain extreme heat conditions across much of the country, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in states such as San Luis Potosí, Jalisco, Guerrero, Veracruz, Yucatán, and Mexico City.
