President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered her second government report at Palacio Nacional, speaking for one hour and six minutes on security, economy, social programs, health, and US-Mexico relations, El Universal reports.

Adán Augusto López, coordinator of the Morena bench in the Senate, and Gerardo Fernández Noroña were absent from the event, according to El Universal. The report came with Sheinbaum's approval rating superior to 60%, but the balance was marked by a complex relationship with the United States and scandals affecting characters from Morena, Diario de Yucatán reports.

Sheinbaum called for honesty and unity within her party Morena amidst internal corruption allegations and external pressure from Donald Trump, El Imparcial reports. The ex-governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, was removed from his position due to alleged links to drug trafficking, an episode Sheinbaum used to signal her resolve to the US, according to El Imparcial.
