Mexican journalist Ana Luz Solís Accuses San Miguel de Allende City Administration of Harassment

In a powerful testimony at the National Meeting of Women Journalists in Mexico City, Ana Luz Solis, founder of News San Miguel, spoke out against a sustained campaign of harassment and threats allegedly orchestrated by the municipal government of San Miguel de Allende.

Solis's case has been featured in the report "Las forma del siege," which documents 1,189 aggressions against women journalists during the Lopez Obrador administration. The attacks reportedly include public smear campaigns, doxxing on social media, and legal complaints filed by municipal officials.

Solis emphasized that her struggle is not just personal but also represents every woman who speaks truth to power. Her work has triggered retaliatory actions targeting both her professional and personal life. Despite previous attempts to seek justice, including filing complaints against Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco, his case was dismissed by local prosecutors.

The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing crisis of press freedom and gendered violence in Mexico. Municipal authorities account for 13.4% of these attacks, with threats, intimidation, and discrediting tactics among the most common forms of violence. Solis's voice, amplified at the national level, continues to challenge the silence imposed by fear.

The organization that led the "Las forma del siege" campaign in 2025, which reported 1,189 aggressions against women journalists during López Obrador's government, is Article 19. The case calls for increased attention and action to protect the safety and rights of women journalists in Mexico.

Solis's testimony has reignited calls for institutional accountability and protective measures for journalists. The attacks aimed at silencing Solis's critical voice underscore the broader crisis of press freedom and gendered violence in Mexico, particularly for women journalists operating in politically sensitive regions. The case serves as a call to action for all who value freedom of the press and the safety of journalists in Mexico.
