  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said no network of social media bots could harm her government and rejected claims of divisions within Mexico’s Fourth Transformation movement.
  • Speaking in Zacatecas during an accountability tour, she said 710,000 residents receive direct government support and highlighted planned health, infrastructure and road projects.
  • Zacatecas Governor David Monreal backed Sheinbaum and criticized what he called foreign-orchestrated attacks and campaigns by the political right.

President Claudia Sheinbaum used a rally in Zacatecas to reject two narratives she said were being pushed against her government: that social media bots could damage it and that the Fourth Transformation movement is divided.

“There will never be a divorce between the people and their government,” Sheinbaum said at Plaza de Armas during a tour following her second government report. “There is no dirty campaign, there is no group of robots on social media that can harm us because the government and the people of Mexico are united.”

There will never be a divorce between the people and their government. There is no dirty campaign, there is no group of robots on social media that can harm us because the government and the people of Mexico are united.

· Claudia SheinbaumThe Mexican president rejected claims that social media bots could damage her government or divide the Fourth Transformation movement.

She said her administration still follows the same model associated with the Fourth Transformation, even though it has its own characteristics. “In the two years we have been in government, we continue to stand by the same model,” she said, adding that the movement had not abandoned its principles or causes.

In the two years we have been in government, we continue to stand by the same model.

· Claudia SheinbaumSheinbaum said her administration had maintained the political model associated with the Fourth Transformation.

As part of her account of government programs, Sheinbaum said 710,000 people in Zacatecas receive direct assistance without intermediaries. She also cited measures involving housing, farming, education, infrastructure and healthcare. The government plans to create 12,000 new primary-care clinics, each supplied with 60 free medicines, and to establish a Universal Health Service.

Sheinbaum announced that construction of the Osiris-Aguascalientes highway would begin in November. She also said the government would never finish paying the costs associated with Fobaproa, Mexico’s bank-rescue program.

Close, firm and committed

· David MonrealThe Zacatecas governor used the phrase to praise Sheinbaum while defending her against alleged political attacks.

Governor David Monreal praised Sheinbaum as “close, firm and committed” and defended her against what he called “black campaigns orchestrated from abroad and by the reactionary right.” He said the support visible at the event showed that the movement had followers, not bots.

Despite the black campaigns orchestrated from abroad and by the reactionary right, popular support is proven here, by being close to the people. Here, President, there is not a single bot, there are thousands of souls who believe in public transformation.

· David MonrealMonreal argued that the crowd at the event demonstrated support for Sheinbaum and her movement.
