Claudia Sheinbaum delivers second State of the Union address

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered her second State of the Union address, outlining a series of policy achievements and future government directions. Key highlights from the address include a reported 51% decrease in homicides and a significant real-term increase in the minimum wage, which has risen 154% since 2018.

The administration is emphasizing the expansion of social programs, such as the ‘Salud Casa por Casa’ home-visit health initiative and a new pension program for women starting at age 60. Infrastructure and state-led development, including housing and rail networks, remain central to the government's agenda.

Additionally, the administration is moving forward with a proposed constitutional reform aimed at barring dual citizens from holding the presidency or state governorships. While the address was met with high approval ratings, some critics have raised concerns regarding national debt levels and the transparency of government spending.
