Many Mexicans are at their limit with the cartel violence and political bribery plaguing their country, and a crowd made its anger felt in a startling and fierce way by storming the National Palace Saturday.
The violent protest was particularly striking as being explicitly organized by “Gen Z” — that is, very young adults, my age group. There were, however, angry citizens of all ages in the mob that clashed with riot police and breached a barrier at the National Palace. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo faces mounting criticism for her refusal to address rampant cartel violence, with one of her critics recently killed in a public assassination.
Eduardo Verástegui, who challenged Sheinbaum in the last Mexican election, enthusiastically posted on X (translation by Grok), “There are no words to describe the emotion felt when seeing so many Mexicans awakened, on the move, and more determined than ever. No matter how many stones we encounter on the path. We are going to move this country forward. All together! United in the truth! Long live Mexico!”

Sheinbaum and other politicians face allegations of taking cartel money, hence the brazen and habitually unpunished crimes of cartel members. Mexican Sen. Lilly Tellez told Fox after detailing the allegations,

Why does the President of Mexico have German name?
Good thing Mexican citizens aren’t allowed to own guns or the poor, innocent, cartel gangsters might be in danger.
Those cops got the schiff beat out of them. One guy with a big set of bolt cutters
Andy Ngo has video on X of it
She’s Jewish, hence the name.
But she was born in Mexico City.
RE: Why does the President of Mexico have German name?
Because of her family’s Jewish heritage, with roots in both Germany and Eastern Europe. Her paternal grandparents were Lithuanian Jews, while her maternal grandparents emigrated from Bulgaria; both families settled in Mexico after fleeing persecution in Europe, especially around the time of the Holocaust.
The surname “Sheinbaum” is of Yiddish origin but is found among both German and Eastern European Jews (“Schönbaum” or “Schoenbaum” are its Germanic forms).
We might also want to ask the question, why did the President of the USA have a Kenyan surname?
I’ve wondered this as well…why Mexico would elect her?
Not familiar with their politics but seems odd
Cartels own her?
Mexico is more culturally diverse than most Americans are aware of. Linda Ronstadt, for example, is of Mexican descent. Her great-grandfather, the engineer Friedrich August Ronstadt (who went by Federico Augusto Ronstadt), immigrated first to Sonora, Mexico, and later to the Southwest (at that time a part of Mexico) in the 1840s from Hanover, Germany. He married Margarita Redondo y Vásquez, a Mexican citizen and eventually settled in Tucson.
Lots of people immigrated to Mexico from all over Europe.
In fact people from all over the world immigrated to the Americas. The first president of Chile was Bernardo O'Higgins. Alberto Fujimori was president of Peru.
People from Europe in the 1800s and 1900s did not just migrate to the United States. They went to various Latin American countries.
Give them all guns and send them to the cartel HQs.
What? That isn’t what they meant? You mean they want someone else to do that?
Sounds very familiar.
“ For the same reason Mariachi music sounds like a polka.”
I think you’re confusing mariachi and TexMex. There is a German population in the middle of Texas(New Braunfels) and that led to the polka/accordion music there.

Just a coincidence! 🤠
Immigration.

They need guns and the willingness to kill cartel members...tough task.
Grok:
Yes, Emperor Maximilian of Mexico (born Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria) was executed by Mexican republican forces.
Key facts:
Date of execution: 19 June 1867
Location: Cerro de las Campanas (Hill of the Bells), near Querétaro, Mexico
Method: Firing squad
Background:
Maximilian had been installed as Emperor of Mexico in 1864 with the support of Napoleon III of France and Mexican conservatives during the French intervention in Mexico (1861–1867).
Sheinbaum is horrible. Those poor hard-working, family oriented Mexicans have it tough against corrupt government and drug cartels.
The drug cartels will soon be killing many more people.
