President Claudia Sheinbaum wished a happy New Year 2026 to Mexican families in Mexico and abroad, from her vacation in Acapulco. In a video shared on social media, she emphasized reflection on the past year and her ongoing commitment to the nation's well-being. The message comes at the end of her first year in office, marked by internal achievements and international challenges.
On December 31, 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum shared a New Year's message via a video on her social media, wishing health, well-being, and love to all Mexican families. “Today, December 31, 2025, the last day of the year, I want to wish the best to Mexican families, those in Mexico, in our territory, and all those in the United States or any other country,” she stated. Sheinbaum, who was spending her December vacation in Acapulco, Guerrero, recalled that these dates are for reflecting on the year's events and sharing love with neighbors and families.
“From my side, know that next year I will continue dedicating myself body and soul for the good of all Mexicans. Long live Mexico and long live all of you!” added the leader. This message closes a 2025 in which Sheinbaum delivered her first government report in September, highlighting a 25% reduction in intentional homicides, the popular election of the Judicial Power, the Plan México, and advances in welfare programs.
In December, she met in person for the first time with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, during the FIFA 2026 World Cup draw. The president described the meeting as “very positive,” though the T-MEC was not discussed. Internationally, Forbes ranked her as the fifth most powerful woman in the world in 2025, and The New York Times included her among the year's most elegant people.
Morena figures, such as party president Luisa María Alcalde, celebrated the year as historic and predicted a 2026 of transformation. General Secretary Carolina Rangel highlighted achievements like affiliating 10 million militants and creating 71,500 sectional committees.
