THE PEOPLE’S MAÑANERA — MORNING PRESIDENTIAL PRESS CONFERENCE — WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2026

SUMMARY

Unwavering sovereignty and well-being with justice: transformation moves forward with the people
President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that the Trump administration’s new executive order represents a key step forward by acknowledging, for the first time, the U.S.’ responsibility for drug use in and arms trafficking to Mexico—a result of bilateral dialogue. She emphasized that the relationship is being maintained with a “cool head” and based on principles of equality, making it clear that national sovereignty is non-negotiable.

Truth vs. Misinformation: No Evidence, No Justice
Sheinbaum denounced a misinformation campaign by the media and right-wing sectors regarding the case of currently on leave Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, noting that there is no evidence to support the extradition request. She was emphatic: “pure lies, absolute fiction,” and announced that Infodemia will expose those who spread these narratives, reiterating that her government does not cover for anyone, but demands legality and evidence.

Opposition, Chihuahua, and Interference
In response to accusations by PAN President Jorge Romero, Sheinbaum questioned the opposition’s double standards, alluding to the Real Estate Cartel and the events in Chihuahua, where the presence of foreign agents in operations is under investigation. She reiterated that no local authority can establish security agreements with foreign agencies without the federal government’s approval, and that defending sovereignty is defending the people and the Constitution.

Freedom of Expression and Debate: Visit by the Spanish Right
Regarding the visit by Spanish right-wing politician Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President affirmed that there is full freedom of expression in Mexico, so she is free to visit the country and express her ideas. However, Sheinbaum called for a critical analysis of who is inviting her and with what purposes, noting that Díaz Ayuso represents an outlook that rejects social programs and advocates conservative positions.

Housing for Well-being: Development with Territorial Justice
In Nuevo León, Governor Samuel García highlighted coordination with the federal government to promote housing linked to industrial hubs and the development of education facilities. The Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development (SEDATU) plans to build up to 77,000 homes with an investment of over 46 billion pesos (US$2.63 billion) for 277,000 families, while INFONAVIT reports 76 housing complexes nationwide, consolidating the right to housing.

Back to Growth: Financial Justice for Rural Areas
The National Debt Settlement Institute (INDEPS) launched “Back to Growth 2026” program to address inherited debts affecting approximately 700,000 loan holders. The program will primarily benefit women through debt forgiveness or a 30% discount, restructuring, termination of legal actions, release of collateral, and access to credit, with free paperwork procedures and no intermediaries. Women are prioritized to revive production. Sheinbaum was clear: the Mexican government supports the people, it does not bail out elites.

Lie Detector
It is false that Morena is a “narco-party” and that the governments of the Fourth Transformation are “narco-governments.”
It is not true that President Claudia Sheinbaum met in Palenque with former President López Obrador and held a “conclave” with federal officials.
It is not true that a governor on leave retains “privileges” or procedural immunity.
It is not true that Senator Enrique Inzunza’s lawyers are “negotiating with the U.S. Department of Justice for him to become a cooperating witness.”
It is not true that security was reinforced at the Sinaloa Government Palace to protect Rocha Moya, currently on leave.
