Every day, President Claudia Sheinbaum gives a morning presidential press conference and Mexico Solidarity Media posts English language summaries, translated by Mexico Solidarity’s Pedro Gellert. Previous press conference summaries are available here.

Women’s Health Is a Priority
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the opening of 32 cancer centers—one per state—offering comprehensive, free care. The La Pastora model, which has already saved hundreds of lives, will allow patients to begin treatment in less than 30 days.

Chihuahua: Justice Takes Precedence Over Politics
The President rejected any agreements in the case involving the former Chihuahua attorney general. The Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) is investigating the involvement of unauthorized U.S. agents in an operation and reiterated that guilt or innocence is determined by evidence.

Water for Jalisco: Solutions for Unfinished Projects
The Mexican government and the National Water Commission (Conagua) are working to ensure clean and sufficient water in Guadalajara. Sheinbaum noted that the previous Jalisco administration left projects unfinished and announced that alternatives and financing options are being reviewed.

Housing for Well-Being: A Right, Not a Privilege
Sheinbaum emphasized that the 4T will guarantee access to decent housing for 12 million families—nearly 43 million Mexicans. The goal includes new housing, home improvements, and property titles.
