President Sheinbaum's daily press conference, with comments on free health care, housing, the 2006 election, the 2027 budget, and misinformation.

Every day, President Claudia Sheinbaum gives a morning presidential press conference and Mexico Solidarity Media posts English language summaries, translated by Mexico Solidarity’s Pedro Gellert. Previous press conference summaries are available here.

IMSS-Bienestar Brings Free Surgeries and Laboratory Services to CommunitiesThe program has already provided 58.3 million consultations across 24 states and built 21 new health-care facilities. The 120-day plan calls for more than 16,000 surgeries in 296 rural hospitals and the opening of 7 teaching hospitals. “We do things out of love,” President Claudia Sheinbaum declared.

Aguascalientes Raises Its Housing Goal from 6,000 to 20,000Sheinbaum described it as “the most important housing program in Mexico’s history.” More than 8,000 housing units have already been allocated in the state, and the program is expected to close the year with 17,000—nearly 86% of the goal for the current presidential administration.

Sheinbaum Calls for Clarification on the 2006 Fraud Following Fox’s AdmissionAccording to WikiLeaks, in 2006, Arturo Sánchez, then an advisor to the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE), visited the U.S. Embassy weeks before the election and said that National Action Party (PAN) candidate Felipe Calderón would win by three percentage points. Sánchez was asked to explain why he made that visit and on what basis he made his prediction.

From Fobaproa to a Budget for Well-being and 13.5 Million People Lifted Out of PovertySheinbaum recalled the Bank Savings Protection Fund (Fobaproa), the attempt to lift Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s parliamentary immunity, and Calderón’s war on drugs to explain the 2018 shift toward greater well-being. This priority continues in the 2027 Budget with more funding for health, education, rural areas, public security, and science.
