President Claudia Sheinbaum was congratulated by reporters shortly after she appeared in the Treasury Hall of the National Palace for her Wednesday morning press conference. Sheinbaum, in turn, congratulated the press corps for “enduring the first year of [her] mañaneras.”‘The most important thing is to maintain conviction’A reporter asked the president what “single adjective” she would use to describe her first year as Mexico’s president. “And I believe that the most important thing is to maintain conviction,” Sheinbaum said without directly responding to the reporter’s question. Like her predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum has made providing support for Mexico’s most disadvantaged citizens — especially through welfare programs — her government’s raison d’être. Sheinbaum was referring to 100 commitments she outlined during a speech in Mexico City’s central square, the Zócalo, the day she was sworn in as president.
