No personal interest above the people, Mexico's Sheinbaum states

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum issued a strong statement on social media, asserting that no personal interest can ever stand above the welfare of the people and the nation. Her remarks came as Rubén Rocha Moya resumed his duties as governor of Sinaloa, following temporary leave after allegations from U.S. authorities.

No personal interest can ever be above the interests of the people and the Nation. And much less when what is intended to be placed above Mexico is not the well-being of its people, but the naked ambition for power for power's sake.

Without directly naming Governor Rocha Moya, Sheinbaum stressed that public servants must prioritize the well-being of the population over any political or personal ambition. She warned that power wielded without principles becomes arrogance, and power without limits devolves into abuse. "Because power without principles becomes arrogance; power without limits, abuse; and power that forgets the people, ends up facing history," she wrote.

The president further emphasized that public office is temporary, but the responsibility of those who hold it is eternal. She called for public servants to understand that their roles are transient, while their commitment to the nation is everlasting. "Mexico deserves public servants who understand that positions are temporary, but the responsibility to the nation is eternal," she stated.

Sheinbaum also underscored that the public should not be exploited to fulfill personal aspirations. She urged authorities to defend the dignity, future, and hope of the people. "The people are not there to feed personal ambitions: they are there to demand that their dignity, their future, and their hope be defended," she asserted.

Concluding her message, Sheinbaum reiterated that collective interests must always take precedence over any individual, group, or particular project. Her statement serves as a reminder of the ethical obligations of public office, particularly in light of recent controversies surrounding political figures.
