President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo commemorated the second anniversary of her electoral victory this Sunday, marking a historic milestone as the first woman to hold the executive office in Mexico. The main event, held at the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City, drew 130,000 attendees according to official government figures, concluding the day without incident.
Opening her morning press conference following the event, the president expressed her gratitude for the public's participation, highlighting the "great enthusiasm, affection, and strength of the Mexican people" displayed during the rallies, as reported by El Universal. The presidential address, titled "Accountability, Two Years After the Triumph: Honesty, Results, and Love for the Homeland," focused on the defense of national sovereignty. Before members of her cabinet and representatives of the legislature, the president rejected any form of foreign interference, emphasizing that the relationship with the United States must be based on mutual respect, coordination, and an absence of subordination. Sheinbaum stressed that "no foreign nation or external agent will be able to break the dignity of the Mexican people," according to El Universal.
The mobilization was mirrored in 31 states, where supporters and Morena officials gathered in public squares to watch the address via video. The State of Mexico saw the highest turnout outside the capital; while El Financiero reported 60,000 attendees in Tlalnepantla, El Universal placed the figure at 75,000 at the Gustavo Baz Prada Civic Plaza. In Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, organizers counted 40,000 people at the Plaza de la Mexicanidad, while 25,000 attendees were reported at the government esplanade in Sinaloa. In Guerrero, Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda led the commemoration in Chilpancingo, where she highlighted federal support for the state, including over 37 billion pesos allocated to welfare programs, as reported by El Financiero.
The show of support for the President took place amid a climate of political tension marked by accusations against the licensed governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, and other Morena members regarding alleged ties to organized crime. During the event at the Monument to the Revolution, attendees interviewed by El Universal demanded concrete evidence regarding these allegations, characterizing the claims as part of a media disinformation campaign intended to project an image of instability in the country.
The day also served as a platform for ruling-party supporters to launch direct criticisms against the opposition. Specifically, the PAN party and Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván were accused of being "traitors to the homeland" for their alleged tolerance of CIA agents operating on Mexican soil. An attendee identified as Gerardo, interviewed by El Universal, justified his presence by noting that the President represents the continuation of the Fourth Transformation project and the defense of national autonomy against the interventionist threats of Donald Trump.
The national mobilization had one notable exception: Coahuila, where no rallies were held due to an ongoing electoral process in the state. In contrast, the day was marked by dissent in Oaxaca, where teachers from Section 22 of the SNTE held protests at Primavera Park during the broadcast of the presidential report. Capital authorities implemented a special citizen assistance operation in Mexico City, which included setting up four assistance tents in the vicinity of the Monument to the Revolution to manage the high influx of people arriving from the city's 16 boroughs.
