Peña Nieto Transfers Presidency to AMLO at Palacio Nacional

Enrique Peña Nieto formally transferred the presidential sash to Andrés Manuel López Obrador at the Palacio Nacional, ending his six-year term. Peña Nieto delivered a final address defending structural reforms and citing poverty reduction. He subsequently moved to Spain. By 2021, he was under investigation — per Emilio Lozoya's testimony — for personally receiving Odebrecht bribes. USMCA (successor to NAFTA) had been signed on the same day, a final achievement of his administration.
