Claudia Sheinbaum used her second government report to insist that Mexico’s transformation remains united and on course. “Let no one be mistaken: there are no divisions here, there are no breakups,” she said as she presented her administration’s record at the National Palace.
Mexico is moving along the path of shared freedom, with independence, freedom and great dignity.
Before her cabinet, governors, legislators and invited guests, Sheinbaum reviewed her government’s work in security, trade, the economy, education, health and housing. She said Mexico is moving along “the path of shared freedom, with independence, freedom and great dignity.”
She portrayed the administration as a break with a past in which public resources went toward extravagance and government served only a few. “We are transforming the public life of the country. Every advance, decision and effort has the same purpose: that well-being reaches everyone,” she said. She added that the Fourth Transformation had ended that earlier approach and should continue.
We are transforming the public life of the country. Every advance, decision and effort has the same purpose: that well-being reaches everyone.
Sheinbaum also defended her government’s record on civil liberties. She said it governs by promoting freedom and democracy, does not repress the people or use state force to silence dissent, and fully respects freedom of expression and protest. Her vision of “Mexican humanism” and a “moral economy,” she said, rests on the idea that the economy must serve the public and can do so only through honesty.
We govern by promoting and guaranteeing the exercise of freedoms and democracy. The people are not repressed, state force is not used to silence those who think differently, and freedom of expression and protest are fully respected.
The president highlighted social welfare programs as a way to turn Mexico’s wealth into public well-being. She also emphasized women’s growing role in the constitution, laws and key decisions of the republic, saying they continue to prove that women can govern. On infrastructure, she reported that the Maya Train had carried 2.5 million passengers and was evolving as planned. On security, she attributed progress to justice and changes in the judiciary, saying the difference between the past and present was clearly visible.
