Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has faced various forms of criticism and political friction. Initially, she drew scrutiny for a historical error during a national tour, where she conflated the Plan de Ayala from the Mexican Revolution with the Plan de Iguala related to Mexican Independence.

More recently, the administration has entered a dispute with Amnesty International. The President accused the organization of being “co-opted by individuals opposed to her administration” following its support for a United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances procedure. While Amnesty International highlighted a crisis involving over 132,000 missing persons and urged the government to accept UN assistance, Sheinbaum defended the government’s rejection of the committee’s observations, characterizing them as a “biased interpretation” and arguing that current disappearances are primarily driven by organized crime rather than state agents.
