Sheinbaum Rallies Congressional Allies, Sets December 6 Zócalo Gathering After Combative Revolution Day Speech

Opponents call the message divisive, intensifying a debate over reforms versus institutional checks.

Overview

  • After the ceremony, Sheinbaum met Morena, PT and PVEM lawmakers at Palacio Nacional, urging them to reinforce territorial outreach, engage media, and uphold austerity as they publicize government achievements.
  • Legislative leaders reported 44 constitutional articles amended, 15 new laws created and roughly 72 secondary changes in the first 14 months, with a national water reform queued for open debate and a 40-hour workweek initiative under consultation.
  • The president formalized a pro-government concentration in Mexico City’s Zócalo for December 6 to mark seven years of the Cuarta Transformación, with allied legislators pledging attendance and framing it as an informational event.
  • Chamber of Deputies president Kenia López Rabadán rejected the tone of the presidential address as divisive, called for unity and legislative autonomy, and highlighted the country’s recent 54%–46% electoral split.
  • Civic critics, including Claudio X. González, warned that political changes promoted by the presidency could threaten democratic counterweights and urged a citizen-led response.
