Sheinbaum Caps Southeast Swing With Yucatán IMSS Bienestar Plan and Defense of AMLO

At rallies in Mérida and Cancún, the president unveiled health and infrastructure investments and said her movement remains strong as regional governors lined up in support.

Overview

  • She announced Yucatán will join the IMSS Bienestar system in 2026 and detailed works including the Agustín O’Horán General Hospital set to finish in December 2025 with a 4,709 million‑peso investment, plus upgrades in Ticul and at the IMSS R-12 hospital and a new UMF in Mérida.
  • In Yucatán, the government reported 645,420 beneficiaries of social programs this year with 15,955 million pesos in direct support, including 232,286 older‑adult pensions, 27,637 disability pensions, 12,113 Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro places, and expanded scholarships and farm supports.
  • In Quintana Roo, Sheinbaum highlighted program coverage—105,470 older‑adult pensions, 15,661 disability pensions, 8,488 Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro positions—and new projects such as a Universidad Benito Juárez campus with 1,000 spaces, a Rosario Castellanos university campus in Cancún, and the General Hospital of Chetumal.
  • She forcefully defended Andrés Manuel López Obrador, saying opponents continue to “calumniate” him but cannot damage his standing with the public, and reiterated her claim that 13.5 million people left poverty during the 4T period.
  • Closing a weekend that included stops in Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo, she said she has visited 23 states over the past three weekends; governors Joaquín “Huacho” Díaz Mena and Mara Lezama publicly backed her agenda, citing the Renacimiento Maya and ongoing federal projects.
