Juchitán mayor accused of cartel ties; firefighter named interim

The mayor of Juchitán, Oaxaca, has been accused of working for 'Los Cromos', a cell of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) operating in the region. A firefighter has been chosen as interim mayor, likely due to the mayor's removal or suspension amid the allegations. This marks a notable local political disruption linked to cartel influence in southern Mexico, though the specific charges and legal status remain unclear.
