Sheinbaum Pauses Morning Briefings for Holy Week, Plans April Schedule in Mexico City

The presidency says urgent news will still be released through official channels during the short break.

Overview

  • Sheinbaum suspended her daily morning pressers for Thursday and Friday of Semana Santa and set a restart for Monday, April 6.
  • In a video posted Thursday, she said she will stay in Mexico City with her husband to visit her son and grandson and to map out April’s briefings.
  • During Wednesday’s conference, she said a Gulf of Mexico oil spill report would be presented at mid‑day and pledged aid to affected fishing crews through Bienpesca, a federal support program for fishers.
  • The presidential office said any nationally significant developments during the pause will be communicated through official government channels.
  • Mañaneras are a central communication tool in Mexico, and this holiday pause follows prior breaks for Christmas, New Year and other feast days.
