Sheinbaum will accompany AMLO in the Zócalo for his latest report

Logwood. Three weeks before the end of the campaign, Claudia Sheinbaum, presidential candidate of the Let’s Make History coalition, reported that on September 1 she will accompany President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in his last government report in the capital’s Zócalo, either as president-elect or as a citizen.

He reported that Mexico City received the Lee Kuan Yew 2024 award for the work carried out in Mexico City for five years – free Internet, Los Pilares, attention to mobility – and accused the members of the Independent Investigation Commission on Covid 19 Pandemic to act with political motives, by releasing its report at this time.

Likewise, he criticized that the PRIAN also makes “despicable political use of the tragedy” of Metro Line 12, despite the fact that many victims “presented a protection so that the accident or themselves would not be used as part of the campaign.” policy”.

At a press conference, where he expressed his full support for the state governor, Layda Sansores, whom he considered a “brave woman,” Sheinbaum anticipated: “we are obviously going to accompany the president on September 1, whether as a citizen or as elected president.” . That is, it will be a president’s day and we will be applauding him there.”

It will be, he added, “his sixth Government report and we are very proud of his work. He has achieved what had not been achieved in many years, changing the economic and political model of our country.”

He indicated that although Mexico City will be where he closes his presidential campaign, he has not yet defined the place. “I already have the tour between now and May 29, (but) we are still defining the closing day of the campaign and the location. Yesterday we had a meeting about it and we are going to announce it next week.”

But, he stated, “we are doing very well. I am very happy with the response of the citizens; Also, thank you because every day there are more signs of affection.”

-Are you considering the Azteca Stadium, where López Obrador closed in 2018 or will it be somewhere else?

-No, it will be in Mexico City. We are defining the place, due to the mobilizations that Mexico City has.

The Morena, PT and PVEM candidate expressed her rejection of the report of the Independent Commission on the management of the pandemic.

“We were internationally recognized for our management. Before there was a vaccine, we were one of the only cities or entities in the world that each person who fell ill with Covid was given a food package and a thousand-peso card to their home, with companions for citizen participation. Many of them even got sick, because they were giving their lives, their work to care for sick people.”

He highlighted that it was also one of the cities that applied the most tests and “we were recognized as the entity that developed the exceptional vaccination program. The entire City government went out to vaccinate citizens, and those who had resources and those who did not were vaccinated.”

This report, he stressed, “actually has political motives; Also, why are they removing it if two years have passed since the pandemic?” Regarding the use of ivermectin, he highlighted that “it was a medical, technical decision. It was not an experimental program,” and “other medications, some even natural, were tested. An investigation was carried out with the National Institute of Nutrition.”

Regarding Line 12, Sheinbuam highlighted that there is a report from the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City on the causes of the accident, as well as two reports from the Public Ministry “and importantly, the construction company, even though it did not agree.” In accordance with the ruling, he cooperated to completely rebuild Line 12 and provide support to all victims. With his consent, there was restorative justice and there are still investigation folders at the door.”

We, he stressed, “do not agree with the opposition’s way of acting. We will always be on the side of the victims and justice. I don’t like it, because it is not correct, to make a presumption about how we care for victims. They are cared for because it is our obligation and that is what we did at the time of the accident until today.”

Before the conference, Sheinbaum stopped to talk with a group of police officers who claimed to have been raped in the failed operation at the Kobén prison. The candidate offered to send the document they gave her, but she stated that Morena is not repressing.
