At Sheinbaum’s second government report, Morena closes ranks while opposition says there is “nothing to celebrate”

Claudia Sheinbaum used her second government report to project optimism about the progress of her administration, nearly two years after taking office. Speaking at the National Palace, she presented her government as consolidating the “second floor” of the Fourth Transformation, the political project associated with Morena.

Morena leaders and officeholders rallied around the president. Their support included calls for officials to act with simplicity and slogans defending national sovereignty. The governing party also closed ranks behind Sheinbaum’s national project in response to what it described as attacks from the international right and conservative sectors of the United States government.

Ricardo Monreal Ávila, Morena’s coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, celebrated the report and said the government had demonstrated advances and results that benefit Mexicans. He said his parliamentary group would continue working closely with the president’s initiatives and supporting the transformation project from Congress.

unconditional fraternity

Citlalli Hernández Mora, the president of Morena’s National Elections Commission, praised Sheinbaum’s governing conviction and highlighted the phrase “unconditional fraternity” from the president’s speech. Hernández also pointed to the claim that the Fourth Transformation had raised the minimum wage by 154% since 2018, after 36 years without real increases. Senator on leave Andrea Chávez celebrated the hashtag “ClaudiaDaResultados,” which trended on X during and after the report.

The opposition offered a sharply different assessment. Its lawmakers said the federal government had “nothing to celebrate” and challenged the results Sheinbaum presented from the historic National Palace. The contrasting reactions turned the report into a display of governing-party unity as well as a political dispute over the administration’s record.
