PAN Denounces Mexico’s Energy Strategy as a Failure

A remark by President Claudia Sheinbaum urging drivers to choose regular gasoline fuels the opposition’s push for a course change at Pemex.

Overview

  • Mexico’s PAN issued a public denunciation of Morena’s energy policy and demanded full disclosure of Pemex’s finances and operations.
  • The party says Pemex closed 2025 with up to $85.2 billion in debt, $24.18 billion owed to suppliers, and $13.4 billion coming due in 2026.
  • PAN reports crude output fell to 1.635 million barrels per day in 2025 from 1.759 million in 2024, with refineries running at about 51.2% of capacity.
  • It argues the Dos Bocas refinery has cost more than promised and is producing less than expected, adding little to fuel self-sufficiency.
  • The statement cites recurring accidents, including a Gulf of Mexico oil spill along with fires and explosions that caused deaths, as evidence of safety and oversight failures.
