President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has reaffirmed her commitment to the “transformation” of Mexico, asserting that no foreign government will strip the movement away from the Mexican people. The statements were made in Kanansín, Yucatán, amid reports of U.S. Allegations against Rubén Rocha Moya, the governor with license of Sinaloa, and the surrender of his key associates, Gerardo Mérida and Enrique Díaz, to United States authorities.
Defense of National Transformation
Addressing the political climate, President Sheinbaum stated, “No person who is not honest, who is not honorable, can hide under the halo of the transformation of the people of Mexico.” This comment followed news that two former Sinaloa officials, accused by the U.S. Of narco-links, had surrendered.
The President emphasized her loyalty to the citizenry, declaring, “I govern with the people, the strength is given to me by the people, and for that reason, I will never betray the people of Mexico, never, and I will never betray the people of Yucatán.”
She further described the “fourth transformation” as an honest movement that fulfills its promises to the public. “As we say, we do not lie, we do not steal, and we will never betray the people of Mexico,” Sheinbaum added.
Educational Expansion in Yucatán
The political declarations occurred during the inauguration of the Unidad Académica de Kanansín at the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos. The facility is designed to benefit 1,300 students.
Alma Herrera, rector of the university, noted that the institution has expanded education into areas where it was previously “unimaginable,” operating under a “humanist vision.”
