President Sheinbaum underscores profound transformation in Mexico

Mexico, Nov 20 (Prensa Latina) President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday underscored the profound transformation of Mexico and assured that her government will never separate itself from the people.

In her speech, Sheinbaum, who headed the civic-military parade on the 114th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, made a historical account of the three great changes before the fourth transformation, the movement initiated in 2018 by then President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

She mentioned the struggles for independence from 1810; the reform movement in the mid-19th century, and later the Revolution, which began in 1910 with a call by Francisco I. Madero to rise up in arms against the Porfirio Díaz regime.

Regarding the current model, she pointed out that it has been based on eradicating corruption and privileges, and freeing up those resources to meet the needs of the majority of the people and improve the workers’ income.

“With this, poverty and inequalities have decreased and there is a path of development with shared prosperity,” said the dignitary, adding that “the second floor of the fourth transformation” promoted by her government is based on the consolidation of justice, democracy and freedoms.

She noted the continuity and expansion of social programs, schools, universities and the health system, and alluded to the construction of new passenger trains, highways and drinking water works next year. “Better-paid jobs are being created, peace is being built every day, and there is an environment conducive to investment,” emphasized Sheinbaum, who stressed that her administration is recovering the social meaning of the 1917 Constitution.

She referred to modifications to the Constitution, such as the one referring to the election by popular vote of judges, ministers, and magistrates, and others regarding the recognition of the substantive equality of women and indigenous peoples and communities as subjects of law.

“I am clear that only with the support of the vast majority of the people can we continue to carry out this great transformation of our country. That is why, we will never separate ourselves from the feelings of the nation, we will never separate ourselves from the people of Mexico,” she assured.

With a long tradition of struggle, the people have been the protagonists of the transformations of our country, we owe ourselves to them and we serve them, the president asserted, stressing that “we are experiencing a profound transformation” and “the entire world sees Mexico with admiration.”
