President Claudia Sheinbaum led an accountability report this Sunday, May 31, at the Monument to the Revolution, marking the second anniversary of her 2024 electoral win. The event, which began at 11:00 a.m., was moved from its usual location at the capital's Zócalo due to preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Fest, as reported by El Financiero.
Before thousands of supporters, the president defended what she described as an unstoppable transformation. "No one can stop this transformation because it has a single source of strength: the will of millions of Mexicans working from the ground up to build a country that is fairer, safer, and provides well-being for all," Sheinbaum stated during her call to the event.
A report under the shadow of diplomatic tension
The president's message was marked by a firm stance on national sovereignty in the face of what her administration calls a "media offensive." According to El Financiero, Sheinbaum has linked this rhetoric to two recent incidents: the unauthorized operation by CIA agents in Chihuahua without notification to the federal government, and U.S. government accusations against the governor of Sinaloa on leave, Rubén Rocha.
Regarding the Chihuahua case, which has sparked a political standoff with Maru Campos’s state government, the president clarified that there is no political persecution against the governor. "She is not being charged with anything. The governor was summoned so she could provide her version of what happened in these circumstances," Sheinbaum declared last Thursday, May 28, rejecting PAN criticisms that suggest the Attorney General's Office is being used for partisan purposes.
To facilitate the broadcast of the message, the federal government installed screens in public squares across 30 states. El Financiero noted that Coahuila was the only exception, as it is holding local elections on June 7. Although the Mexican government has promised to disclose the operational costs of this broadcast, the exact figure has yet to be published.
El Universal, which covered the event in a minute-by-minute format, highlighted the mobilization of supporters in the Cuauhtémoc borough from the early hours of the morning. The president reaffirmed that the report aims to consolidate popular support two years into her term, as she continues to serve as the first woman to hold the presidency in the country's history.
