Overview
- Sheinbaum publicly named Ernesto Zedillo and Guillermo Ortiz on Wednesday, September 23, and said her government will not for now change Banco de México’s pension regime.
- Sheinbaum cited a 2026 figure for Zedillo that matches a Contralínea report showing about 149,203 pesos per month, or roughly 1.79 million pesos a year.
- Sheinbaum said Ortiz receives around 300,000 pesos monthly, but the most recent primary record located is a 2025 transparency release that showed 316,912 pesos and no indexed Banxico document was found for 2026.
- Sheinbaum also said Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s ISSSTE pension is under 30,000 pesos per month, a claim attributed to ISSSTE leadership that lacks an individual public deposit document in the sources reviewed.
- The cases expose legal and transparency gaps: Banxico pensions follow internal 'Condiciones Generales de Trabajo' with special rules for pre‑1994 hires, and an April 10, 2026 constitutional limit did not explicitly cover Banco de México, so journalists and officials are calling for indexed individual records to clarify accountability.
