Sheinbaum Uses Southeast Tour to Detail Welfare Push and New Regional Projects

She presents the Fourth Transformation as anchored in popular backing during her first‑year accountability swing.

Overview

  • In Mérida, she said Yucatán will join IMSS Bienestar in 2026 and highlighted health works including the new Agustín O’Horán hospital slated to finish in December 2025 and upgrades in Ticul and at Regional Hospital No. 12.
  • In Tabasco, she announced a cacao‑processing plant for next year so local producers can turn cacao into chocolate and sell it through Tiendas del Bienestar.
  • She projected social‑welfare programs will total about one trillion pesos in 2026 and cited the official claim that 13.5 million people have exited poverty under the 4T.
  • She defended Andrés Manuel López Obrador as beyond slander and accused opponents of traveling to the United States to disparage the government, singling out an entrepreneur she says refuses to pay taxes.
  • The tour spanned Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Yucatán with a public invite to close on October 5 in the Zócalo, as local leaders praised support for initiatives like Renacimiento Maya and coverage noted the recent extradition and preventive detention of alleged La Barredora leader Hernán Bermúdez Requena.
