MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has officially proposed renaming the iconic Paso de Cortés—the mountain pass situated between the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes in Puebla—to the Paso de los Pueblos Indígenas (Pass of the Indigenous Peoples). However, Sheinbaum emphasized that Indigenous communities had inhabited, protected, and traveled through the corridor centuries before the arrival of Spanish colonizers. During her Monday morning press conference, President Sheinbaum confirmed that she has instructed Presidential Legal Advisor Luisa María Alcalde to review the formal legal mechanisms required to make the official name change. The initiative aligns with previous historical renaming efforts spearheaded by Sheinbaum and her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. This short news coverage from SICOM Puebla provides direct video footage and statements from President Sheinbaum during her announcement at the Izta-Popo National Park.
