Mexican state of Oaxaca installs temporary government in Juchitán after arrest of its mayor

The government of Oaxaca, Mexico, has appointed Francisco Vázquez Jiménez to serve as the temporary authority for the municipality of Juchitán de Zaragoza. This administrative transition follows the arrest of the incumbent mayor and the subsequent decision by the state Congress to dissolve the local municipal government.

The installation of a temporary government is a formal measure taken by state authorities to ensure administrative continuity in Juchitán following the removal of the previous municipal leadership. The state-level intervention was triggered by the legal proceedings involving the mayor, leading to the dissolution of the existing city council.
