Day 726 — Sheinbaum Closes 32-State Accountability Tour With Zócalo Message Warning Against Foreign 'Injerencia,' Citing 850,000 Attendees

| Sheinbaum (2024–)

President Sheinbaum closed her national "Honestidad y Resultados" accountability tour with a message from the Zócalo in Mexico City on September 27, 2026 (Day 726, Sunday), marking the end of a tour that covered all 32 states following her September 1 Second Government Report; her office estimated roughly 850,000 people attended the tour's assemblies in total. Speaking on the 205th anniversary of the Consumación de la Independencia, Sheinbaum said "soberanía quiere decir que solo el pueblo determina el destino de México" and "México debe defender su soberanía frente a cualquier injerencia extranjera," framing the message amid ongoing US-Mexico security talks over American military presence on Mexican soil. She invoked Independence, Reform and Revolution as historical processes that etched sovereignty, liberty, social justice and democracy "grabadas con sangre y fuego," declared "no hay divorcio entre pueblo y gobierno, que gobierno y pueblo unidos, jamás seremos vencidos," and listed tour-cited accomplishments including the 40-hour workweek push, above-inflation wage increases, universal pensions for older adults and people with disabilities, education scholarships, housing and healthcare framed as rights, and a ban on nepotism in public office.
