Mexico City’s Mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to criticism regarding lists of journalists compiled by Interior Secretary Luisa Alcalde. She defended an analysis focused on digital amplification of media narratives, denying any intention of censorship. Sheinbaum acknowledged the potential for misinterpretation regarding the public exposure of the communicators’ names. She suggested ceasing the use of these names if they created issues or caused problems. The controversy centers on concerns that the lists could be used to target or discredit critical journalists. Sheinbaum maintained the analysis aimed to understand information ecosystems rather than suppress dissenting voices, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and freedom of expression. The incident has sparked debate about government transparency and its relationship with the Mexican press.
