president of mexico, Claudia SheinbaumHe referred to his Argentine counterpart. Javier MileyThis was within the framework of a conference in which various social assistance programs were presented. At one point, when referring to the money raised by the North American country in 2025, the president alluded to the fact that almost the same amount had been raised as that which the Argentine government had borrowed from the country. Donald Trump.
“They wonder why all this support for Fourth Transformation governments. Because there are resources that go directly to the people, without intermediaries. No one is asked who will vote to give them support or which party they belong to, as happened in the past. The majority are global programs,” the official began the topic.
In this sense, he emphasized: “To give you an idea, the additional collection this year is close to 400 thousand million pesos. Do you know how much Argentina requested from the United States for a loan? This amount. We collect it without further taxes, but simply by doing our job well. “It was 250,000 million just from customs.”
Immediately afterwards, Sheinbaum explained that the goal of the Mexican government would be to achieve greater collections, and that it would do so with the same plan as had been established thus far. He pointed out, “Now the laws have been approved to completely close the way for companies. There is still room for collection to help people and support those who have less.”
Next year, the size of the programs will increase with inflation, and according to the president, more than three million Mexicans between the ages of 60 and 64 are already receiving their pensions. He also announced that in 2026, the Rita Cetina Scholarship will continue to be distributed in the general primaries, while transportation support through the Gertrudis Bocanegra Scholarship for university students will also begin.
“We are the popular movement that is in power, always close to the people,” Sheinbaum said. “We are not abandoning the principles we fought for; this is transformation.”
