Sheinbaum Delivers Second Government Report Emphasizing Austerity, Security and Social Expansion

The president framed reported budget savings and falling homicide rates as the basis for widening welfare programs and launching a 32-state tour.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum gave her Segundo Informe from the Patio de Honor of Palacio Nacional on Tuesday, September 1, and the administration said Secretary of the Interior Rosa Icela Rodríguez will submit the written report to Congress for formal review.
  • Sheinbaum said the government reduced gasto corriente by 200 billion pesos versus 2024 and that tax receipts through August rose by about 149 billion pesos, figures the presidency presented as funds redirected to social services.
  • The administration reported a 51 percent fall in the average daily number of intentional homicides from 86.9 to 42.5 between September 2024 and July 2026 and used that change to argue its security strategy is producing results.
  • Sheinbaum told the nation that Programas para el Bienestar will reach roughly 42.86 million beneficiaries by the end of 2026 with more than one trillion pesos committed, and she highlighted record foreign direct investment in the first half of 2026 as evidence of economic stability.
  • After the national address the president announced a follow-up tour starting September 3 to present state-level reports, a process that triggers congressional scrutiny (the glosa) and will invite independent checks of the administration's statistics and program claims.
