Sheinbaum Marks Día de Reyes at Mañanera, Defends School Sweets Ban and Announces ISSSTE Clinic

She used the holiday forum to underscore child health policy and Mexico’s non‑intervention stance.

Overview

  • The morning conference doubled as a children’s celebration with a jarana veracruzana performance, the arrival of the Reyes Magos, toy giveaways and the cutting of the Rosca de Reyes.
  • A child asked why sweets were removed from schools, and Sheinbaum replied that excessive sugar harms long‑term health and that schools must offer healthy food under the 2025 Vida Saludable rules.
  • She joined a live link to inaugurate an ISSSTE clinic in Playa del Carmen that will serve 14,000 beneficiaries, appearing with Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama and the ISSSTE director.
  • The president said the decline in homicides owes to stronger investigative intelligence, attention to root causes and tighter inter‑agency coordination.
  • On U.S. fentanyl rhetoric, she said labeling it a weapon of mass destruction provides a pretext for intervention yet unilateral action is unlikely, and she reaffirmed non‑intervention on Venezuela, noting no direct contact with Delcy Rodríguez.
