Overview
- Mexico City authorities reported more than 600,000 attendees at the Dec. 6 event and described a coordinated security operation that kept the gathering orderly.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum defended the mobilization, framed seven years of the 4T as a new ethical pact, denied that attendees were paid, and emphasized strong youth backing.
- Allied leaders publicly endorsed Sheinbaum and cited government claims of results, including a higher minimum wage projected at 315 pesos in 2026, more than $40 billion in 2025 foreign investment, and roughly 13.5 million people lifted from poverty over six years.
- Pro-government analysts characterized the turnout as an organic reaffirmation of the 4T’s project, while opinion columns criticized the celebration for lacking self-critique on unresolved controversies.
- Morena deputy coordinator Ricardo Monreal said he had a front-row badge but could not reach the VIP area because of crowding and denied any effort to sideline him.
