Sheinbaum Marks First Year With Zócalo Report, Pledges Justice for Corruption

Her message centered on honesty and accountability as a Navy‑linked fuel‑smuggling probe advances.

Overview

  • Speaking before a full Zócalo, the president declared that anyone who betrays or robs the people will face justice and said public power is for serving, not enrichment.
  • The capital deployed a large security operation with traffic closures around the Centro Histórico and the temporary shutdown of the Zócalo/Tenochtitlan Metro station.
  • Allied unions and supporters from across Mexico filled the square, with contingents from SNTE, CATEM, CROC and others joining governors and cabinet officials.
  • Sheinbaum touted social and security results from her first year, highlighting claimed reductions in poverty and homicides and positioning programs and infrastructure as returns to the public.
  • The address capped a nationwide accountability tour and came as authorities investigate a Navy‑linked fuel‑contraband network that includes a detained vice admiral.
