Mexico City Mayor Denies Cartel Ties, Cites Fear for Life

Mexico City Mayor Sandra Cuevas, in a recent interview with Ernesto Buitron News, vehemently denied any involvement with drug cartels and expressed serious concerns about her safety. "They say I'm a millionaire, that I'm connected to cartels," Cuevas stated, her voice laced with emotion. "They put me in a vulnerable position." The interview, conducted at Cuevas' art gallery, follows recent allegations against her. Cuevas cited the intense online negativity as the reason for deactivating her social media accounts, saying she was tired of the "hate and attacks." She also highlighted the broader issue of violence against women in Mexico, stating, "We are very bad in our country, much violence." The opening of her art gallery underscores her resilience and continued work in the community despite the ongoing controversy.
