President Claudia Sheinbaum defended on Saturday in Morelos the approval of electoral plan B and the decree eliminating golden pensions for former public officials. She said these measures will save nearly 5 billion pesos for public works and social programs. 'Pésele a quien le pese, we will continue governing for the people of Mexico,' she stated.

Opposition parties PAN and PRI have announced they will reject President Claudia Sheinbaum's electoral Plan B in the Senate, following its announcement last week after the original reform failed in the Chamber of Deputies. The plan allows promoting votes in revocation of mandate processes—clarified by Sheinbaum as non-mandatory—and includes spending cuts. Movimiento Ciudadano is still reviewing the initiative.
