President Claudia Sheinbaum shared a video inviting people to visit Acapulco during her Christmas vacation, highlighting the Costera Miguel Alemán. However, netizens responded with criticism over violence and issues in the port's outskirts. The message sparked debate on security in Guerrero and the rest of the country.
President Claudia Sheinbaum spent her Christmas vacation in Acapulco, Guerrero, and posted a video on social media to promote the tourist destination. In the clip, she is heard saying: “Look how good Acapulco is. Visit this beautiful port on the Mexican Pacific. Acapulco stands thanks to its wonderful people,” while showing the renovated Costera Miguel Alemán.
The post prompted immediate responses from netizens, who shared screenshots of reports on murders and disappearances in the state. Some replied sarcastically, such as: "And the rest of Mexico, how is it, my president?" and "And when do you visit Michoacán? Or are narco war zones not good tourist destinations?". User Aldo García pointed out that only the tourist area looks good, but the suburbs suffer from collapsed drains: "Well, not so beautiful, my presi, the tourist area is very nice, but the suburbs are totally forgotten with collapsed drains going to the bay".
Other comments highlighted insecurity in Acapulco and regions like Michoacán, where the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, was murdered two months ago. On security matters, Sheinbaum and her cabinet present biweekly updates. In October, the president reported a 32% drop in intentional homicides in her first year of government: “Imagine, 27 fewer homicides daily, 32 percent; ... A very significant reduction, obviously we will continue working to make the reduction greater”.
In Guerrero, the decrease was 12%, placing the state 20th nationally. According to Marcela Figueroa Franco from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System, Guerrero ranked seventh in homicide incidence and sixth in the first semester of 2025.
