Claudia Sheinbaum's policy spending in Mexico

Entities: Comisión del Agua del Estado de México (CAEM) · El Maíz es la Raíz program · Claudia Sheinbaum · Salomón Jara Cruz · Milpateca

Overview

In July 2026, reports highlighted the cost of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s press conferences, estimating expenses of more than 500 million pesos. By early August, the focus shifted to large‑scale policy initiatives. Sheinbaum announced a 37.8 billion‑peso investment to upgrade road infrastructure across Oaxaca’s Mixteca region, part of a broader plan to improve over 1,200 km of roads. The rollout included 76 new artisan roads covering 193.5 km, expected to benefit more than 37,000 residents.

The first tranche of the “El Maíz es la Raíz” program was delivered, extending support to 327,320 small corn producers nationwide—including 72,292 in Oaxaca—and providing communal light‑machinery through Milpateca facilities. She also met with Section 22 of the CNTE teachers union to discuss pending demands. In parallel, the federal housing scheme “Vivienda para el Bienestar” was highlighted, targeting assistance for 12 million families and delivering 68 homes in Huajuapan de León as part of a goal of 64,254 homes in Oaxaca during the current sexenio.
