About this listen
Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's first female president, has been making waves in recent days with several significant developments. On October 5, 2025, she delivered her first State of the Union address in Mexico City's Zócalo, marking one year in office. The event drew a massive crowd of over 400,000 supporters, where she emphasized her commitment to the people and sovereignty, celebrating the achievements of her government while acknowledging the legacy of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Sheinbaum underscored economic progress, including a forecasted 1.2% economic growth this year and record foreign direct investment. She also showcased her government's infrastructure projects, including a proposed train from Mexico City to Nuevo Laredo, which she suggested be named the "Gulf of Mexico Train" in a nod to national pride and a response to U.S. President Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
In a recent press conference on October 6, Sheinbaum addressed the violent protests during a march in Mexico City and called out a controversial social media post by businessman Claudio X. González. She further confirmed the repatriation of Mexicans detained by Israeli forces due for return later that week. Despite economic challenges and political pressures, Sheinbaum enjoys high public approval, with nearly eight in ten Mexicans supporting her performance.
Sheinbaum has also proposed domestic economic projects, such as Plan México, which aims to boost production hubs and energy projects. Her administration is working to increase trade with the U.S. while navigating complex international relations, particularly with China. Sheinbaum's party has been linked to an "Anti-Meme Law" aimed at reducing criticism through social media.
