Sheinbaum pledges to protect Mexico’s sovereignty in first government report: Video
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo used her first Government Report on Sunday, October 5, to make a clear statement on national sovereignty, declaring that the country will not tolerate foreign interference.
Speaking in the Federal Government of Mexico before Congress, media, and thousands of supporters, she said: “The people of Mexico, under no circumstances, will accept interventions, intrusions, or any other acts from abroad that are harmful to its integrity.”
Sheinbaum framed her government’s achievements in security, social welfare, health, and energy independence within this context of defending Mexico’s autonomy. She emphasised that recent constitutional reforms reinforce protection against any attempts to compromise the nation’s independence.
Economic stability also featured in her address, with Sheinbaum noting a 12% increase in the minimum wage for 2025 and highlighting strong macroeconomic indicators, including controlled inflation, record foreign investment, and a stable peso.
She contrasted her administration’s approach with past governments, arguing that previous neoliberal policies exacerbated inequality, while her model — focused on social justice, state intervention, and wealth redistribution — aims to strengthen the nation both economically and politically.
Concluding her report, Sheinbaum reaffirmed Mexico’s democratic principles, stating that the country remains a free and sovereign state, where citizens’ voices determine government power and foreign influence will not dictate domestic affairs.
