Sheinbaum Marks First Year With Mass Zócalo Report, Vows Justice for Those Who 'Rob the People'

Her message centered on punishing corruption in the wake of a fuel‑smuggling probe that has led to a vice admiral’s detention.

Overview

  • The president closed a nationwide accountability tour with a first‑year report in Mexico City’s Zócalo before thousands, with the plaza reported full; the city government claimed over 400,000 attendees, a figure some outlets estimated far lower.
  • She reiterated that anyone who betrays or steals from the public will face justice, a pledge delivered as the 'huachicol fiscal' investigation names detained Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna and implicates marines and customs officials.
  • She touted social and economic results, asserting that 13–13.5 million people left poverty between 2018 and 2024 and that 82.4% of households receive direct support through pensions and scholarships.
  • Her address highlighted security priorities, citing previously reported declines in homicides and actions against fuel theft, and reaffirmed alignment with the Fourth Transformation project launched under Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
  • Governors, cabinet members and major unions attended the event, which capped her 32‑state 'La Transformación Avanza' tour of reports to the public.
