Joel Omar Vázquez Herrera is the director of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) in Mexico. He has been in the news recently for addressing the ongoing issues related to the reconstruction and restoration of historical churches and monuments damaged by the earthquakes of 2017. Despite claims from government officials about the completion of these efforts, Vázquez Herrera highlighted that 15% of the restoration work remains unfinished across several states, including Mexico City and Morelos.
