Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will stop in the state of Sonora for the first time since taking office on her upcoming tour of the northern part of the country
She said she would be in Sonora on Dec. 21, in a tour that also includes stops in neighboring Chihuahua and Sinaloa.
Sheinbaum said her team was still deciding if they would stop in Sinaloa’s capital, Culiacán, during her time in that state. Culiacán has been the site of recent violence between warring cartel factions.
Sheinbaum told reporters that her stop in Sinaloa wouldn’t be focused on security, but would rather focus on touring projects started by the former presidential administration.
The president met with governors from across the country in Acapulco earlier this week to talk about security, as cartel violence worsens in many parts of the country. A judge was shot dead in his car in the resort city a day after her visit.
