Sheinbaum rules out changes in security strategy after the assassination of mayor in western Mexico

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday ruled out changes to security policies after the assassination of a mayor in the violent state of Michoacan again raised questions about her administration's actions to confront criminal groups that control vast parts of the country. In response to the shock generated by the lethal attack against Uruapan Mayor Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, Sheinbaum defended her policies, saying she has reduced homicides and accused her adversaries of acting like vultures and scavengers following the mayor’s assassination.
