Canelo Álvarez after meeting with Claudia Sheinbaum: “I know he’s going to win”
Mexican boxer Saúl Canelo Álvarez anticipated this Thursday the victory in the elections of next June 2 of the candidate for the presidency of the ruling party, Claudia Sheinbaum, in a meeting with her.
“I know he’s going to win,” the boxer told the former head of the Government of Mexico City, between 2018 and 2023, according to a short video of the meeting that Sheinbaum posted on the social network X.
Álvarez, who is one of the best in his sport worldwide, expressed his support for the representative of the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition, made up of the ruling National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and its allies, the Labor Parties (PT) and Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM).
In the clip of just over a minute, the owner of 11 world belts throughout his career, advised Sheinbaum to get up in good shape every day, including, meditating on waking up and at night, before going to bed, as well as getting into a tub with ice every morning.
“We’ll see, then, from now on I’m going to get up and get into a tub with ice,” Sheinbaum said laughing.
Canelo, who in his last fight on Saturday, May 4, defeated the also Mexican Jaime Munguía and endorsed his status in world boxing, assured that “sheinbaum will do very well” and offered him his support.
“There in what we can help and we are also available,” said the boxer.
Álvarez praised the ideas of the ruling candidate, especially what is related to investing in Mexico.
Both characters concluded the brief meeting with a kiss and a hug, to finally raise the candidate’s arms as a sign of victory.
Sheinbaum leads the electoral preferences in the June 2 elections, the largest in the country’s history, where 20,375 positions will be renewed in Mexico, including the presidency, the 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the 128 of the Senate, as well as nine state governments, including that of Mexico City.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
