Claudia Sheinbaum Cancels La Parota Dam, Announces Water Projects and Women Bienestar Pensions in Acapulco

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo visited Acapulco on 26 July 2026 and delivered Women Bienestar pension cards to beneficiaries – women aged 60‑64 who receive a bimonthly payment of 3,100 pesos. The programme reaches about 70,000 women in Guerrero and 17,955 in Acapulco, part of a national rollout that serves roughly 3 million Mexican women.

During the same event Sheinbaum announced the permanent cancellation of the La Parota hydro‑electric dam project, saying it would have severely affected local communities. The federal government will instead build radial water wells and elevated storage tanks to supply the city. An 8‑billion‑peso investment will also modernise five water‑treatment plants, refurbish nine sewage‑treatment facilities, add 30 km of collectors and implement flood‑protection works.

Sheinbaum highlighted ongoing reconstruction after hurricanes Otis and John, including river desilting, new pumping stations and network upgrades. Hotel occupancy in Acapulco has risen to about 78 percent, reflecting a rebound in tourism.
