On Monday, June 29, 2026, Mexico City\u2019s President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the controversy surrounding V\u00edctor Rodr\u00edguez Padilla, the former director of Pemex, who has been accused of domestic violence by his wife. <\/p>\n
During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum clarified that she has not yet spoken directly with Rodr\u00edguez Padilla\u2019s spouse, but that communication is ongoing through the Secretariat of Women. She emphasized the importance of respecting legal processes and ensuring justice for victims of violence. <\/p>\n
Regarding Rodr\u00edguez Padilla\u2019s recent appointment to the National Institute of Electricity and Clean Energies (INEEL), Sheinbaum explained that the nomination was not yet official. \u201cHe had announced his entry at the institute, but I had not signed the appointment document yet,\u201d she said. She stressed that the formal signing was still pending and that no official transfer of the position had taken place. <\/p>\n
When asked if Rodr\u00edguez Padilla might be considered for any other public office, Sheinbaum was unequivocal: \u201cNo, none. No, no, no.\u201d <\/p>\n
She also highlighted that the Morelos Attorney General\u2019s Office is responsible for investigating the case and insisted on the strict application of the law. \u201cThere can be no tolerance for violence against women. This is not about personal connections; the law must be applied, and the Morelos prosecutor\u2019s office will determine the appropriate criminal sanction,\u201d she stated. <\/p>\n
This firm stance comes amid ongoing national conversations about gender-based violence and the role of public officials in setting examples of accountability. For many, it underscores the need for transparent governance and the protection of women\u2019s rights in Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
