Sheinbaum reports the continuity and register in his 100-day information before the miles in the Zócalo

Sheinbaum reports the continuity and register in his 100-day information before the miles in the Zócalo

The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, presented this Sunday her information of the first 100 days of government in a massive event in the Zócalo of Mexico City, where she gathered thousands of sympathizers to separate the progress and initial responses of her administration. In the act, Sheinbaum confirmed the continuity of the transformation begun by his predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and reaffirmed his compromise with the principles of the movement that raised him to power.

In his speech, Sheinbaum addressed the main issues that underlined the beginning of his mandate, starting from the violence linked to drug trafficking in states such as Sinaloa up to the political, commercial and migratory challenges arising from the imminent legacy of Donald Trump as president of the United States.

“They criticize us for the continuity of the project, but this is exactly what we luchamos todos estos años and what we have been elegidos for: to continue transforming the public life of Mexico. We must not return to the regime of corruption,” Sheinbaum said in front of the crowd, which, according to estimates by the Mexico City government, reached 350,000 people.

The president described her government as the “second plan” of the transformation project launched in 2018 by López Obrador, underlining that the reforms implemented during his administration represent the objective of consolidating a more just and peaceful Mexico.

Legislative advances and state reform

Sheinbaum initiated the approval of various constitutional reforms in his first months in office, among them the reform of the Judicial Power, which, as noted, will guarantee his autonomy. It also favored the recovery of strategic companies such as Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), now bajo control estatal.

“These actions are fundamental to devolve to the people of Mexico the resources that belong to them and to build a more equitable country,” declared the president.

Furthermore, he defended the disappearance of some autonomous bodies, arguing that these institutions were inefficient and responded to private interests more than public welfare.

Security: a strategy of four ejes

On security, Sheinbaum presented figures that, in her opinion, reflect the positive impact of her strategy, based on four pillars: addressing the causes of violence, consolidating the National Guard, using intelligence against organized crime and strengthen coordination between federal and state authorities.

“Between September and December 2024, painful homicides decreased by 16%, gunshot injuries by 20%, and all violent robots by 5%. Some have asked that we fracasáramos, but this strategy works because it is based on humanism, dedication and honesty,” he said.

However, the mandate recognized that returns persisted, especially in regions like Sinaloa, where the internal battle in the Sinaloa Cartel has left around 600 dead since September, after the capture of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, hijo of the Chapo Guzman.

To address the violence, Sheinbaum recently launched the “Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace” program, which seeks to incentivize citizens to receive weapons in exchange for actual money and replace war toys with ones that promote peaceful values ​​among children.

A comprehensive economic plan

During the event, Sheinbaum also provided details of the called Plan México, which will be officially unveiled this moon. As explained, it is an integral economic development policy that includes public and private investments to promote industrialization, tourism and services, with a focus on the equitable development of all regions of the country.

“This plan seeks to generate opportunities for all, reduce desires and ensure sustainable growth that will benefit las y los mexicanos,” he assured.

Relationship with the United States and Trump’s league

Sheinbaum also dedicated a part of his speech to the relationship with the United States, on the occasion of Donald Trump’s response to the White House on January 20th. The president has pledged that his government will seek to maintain a relationship of respect and dialogue, but without subordinating itself to the politics of its Northern neighbourhood.

“Mexico is a free, independent and sovereign country. We coordinate, we collaborate, but we never subordinate ourselves,” Sheinbaum exclaimed, which provoked the enthusiasm of the multitude, who chanted “¡México, México!”.

The president also responded to recent statements by Trump, who said that “Mexico is governed by cards” and called it a dangerous place. Sheinbaum responded to these accusations and destroyed the Mexican migrant effort in the United States.

“Mexicans are extraordinaire workers, from the field to the universities. We never forget, on the contrary, we recognize and destroy us,” he declared, in clear allusion to the massive deportation measures carried out by Trump.

A balance of the first 100 days

100 days after taking office, Claudia Sheinbaum presented a budget focused on the continuity of López Obrador’s transformation project, highlighting logs on legislative matters, security and economic development. However, I also recognized the challenges his government faced, from drug violence to tensions in the relationship with the United States.

The event in the square symbolized not only an information message from the government, but also a show of political strength, with thousands of people responding to its management. Sheinbaum made it clear that his administration aims to consolidate the progress made in recent years and continue working towards a more just, egalitarian and sober Mexico.
