Day 701 — Sheinbaum Calls Zacatecas Car Bombing "Isolated," Sends Security Cabinet Sept 5

On September 2, 2026 (Day 701, Wednesday), asked about the August 30 car bomb attack outside the Ojocaliente, Zacatecas police command, President Sheinbaum called the incident "isolated" while acknowledging it was not the first such attack, and announced her Security Cabinet would travel to Zacatecas on Friday, September 5 to present findings on the criminal group responsible. She separately urged UNAM to consider opening additional undergraduate spaces and faculty positions after the university opened 2,000 new spots, and cited figures from Legal Counsel Luisa María Alcalde crediting the administration with 27 constitutional reforms and 76 secondary-law reforms since October 2024. Sheinbaum also praised customs and tax authorities for a fuel-theft crackdown, citing the arrest of Fernando Farías Laguna as helping curb contraband and stabilize gasoline prices, and rejected suggestions of a rift with Morena Senate leader Adán Augusto López, saying their direct contact had lessened but coordination with other party leaders continued.
