Claudia Sheinbaum claims the “popular mandate” of being elected the “first president with a”
Claudia Sheinbaum claimed this Thursday the “popular mandate” of being the “first president with a” of Mexico when she received from the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) her proof of elected president, a position that she will assume on October 1.
“It is the first time in 200 years of the Republic that a woman, president, with a receives the recognition of elected president,” she said during the ceremony in which she received her record that accredits her as the next president of the country.
The former head of government of Mexico City (2018-2023), who officially won a record of almost 36 million votes, about 60% of the total in the June 2 elections, emphasized that she does not assume the victory as an “individual achievement.”
“As I have said on other occasions, I do not assume it only as an individual triumph or as a personal effort. Today is already marked in the history of Mexico, I didn’t arrive alone, we all arrived,” she said.
He said the heroines of the homeland that “they have made this high recognition possible.”
The Court delivered this record after declaring on Wednesday the validity of the election, not cancelling a single vote and discarding all the challenges presented by the opposition that called for the nullity of the elections due to the alleged interference of the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and drug trafficking.
In his speech, Sheinbaum stated that she arrives “nourished” and “full of the strength” that comes from the ancestors, grandmothers, mothers, daughters and granddaughters.
“Today we all arrived and with that I pledge to fight to continue building equality and freedom for all Mexican women, especially for the most vulnerable, and to take care, as women do, responsibly, of the future of our homeland,” he said.
He stressed that the vote of June 2, where the ruling National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and its allies maintained the preferences of the electorate, has several meanings, among them, the fact that people have chosen to continue with an “honest government” and “results.”
“In other other ways, most citizens do not want governments to return to the service of a few or arrogance or influence, they do not want corruption or privileges to return, that is the mandate of the people of Mexico and it is up to us to continue to make it a reality,” he concluded.
He also pointed out that he will continue to build a free Mexico, of well-being, of rights, of peace, independent, sovereign, democratic and where freedom of expression, assembly, press and mobilization is respected.
“There is no full freedom when there is no welfare and rights, that is, the freedom of the one who must cross kilometers to migrate because of poverty is false. The freedom of purchasing power with a hunger wage or the freedom to end the planet is also false, that is a false freedom,” he said.
The next president also promised to provide social, environmental and, especially, justice for women.
In addition, he said that he will act with “honesty, responsibility, respecting the independence of the powers” and that he will govern for all people.
“No one should fear anything, on the contrary, the future is promising, we are a country of an extraordinary, unique, wonderful people, we will be at the height of the circumstances and our beautiful and glorious people,” he said.
Finally, he promised not to disappoint and to put all his “effort, knowledge, heart, effort and will.”
“And even life itself to serve my homeland and my people,” he concluded.

German president says trust in U.S. leadership is ‘lost’ amid global tensions
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Tuesday that trust between the United States and its Western allies has been “lost,” warning that the damage could persist beyond the presidency of Donald Trump.
“The rupture is very deep, and the loss of trust in U.S. great power policy is significant—not only among its allies, but also, as I observe, globally,” Steinmeier said during a speech in Berlin marking the 75th anniversary of Germany’s Foreign Ministry.
Referring to the future of transatlantic relations, he stated that “there is no return to the situation before January 20, 2025,” the date marking the start of Trump’s second term in the White House.
“Even a future U.S. administration will no longer be able to resume the role of a benevolent hegemon guaranteeing a liberal international order,” added Steinmeier, who previously served as Germany’s foreign minister.
He also criticized the war against Iran, describing it as “contrary to international law” and calling it “a political mistake with serious consequences.”
“This war is avoidable and unnecessary,” he said.
Although the German presidency is largely ceremonial, Steinmeier’s remarks reflect a broader concern within Germany, aligning with the government’s cautious stance while going further in tone.

Trump claims talks with Iran as G7 meets to address global tensions
U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States has held talks with Iran—a claim denied by Tehran—and has temporarily paused his threat to target the country’s electrical infrastructure.
In his first overseas trip since the United States and Israel launched their offensive on February 28, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to address key global issues, including the situation in the Middle East, according to State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven will meet in Cernay-la-Ville, close to Versailles, on the outskirts of Paris.
During the meeting, Rubio will hold discussions with his counterparts on “the war between Russia and Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, and threats to global peace and stability,” Pigott said.
France currently holds the presidency of the G7, whose members also include the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Although all G7 nations are close allies of the United States, none has offered explicit support for Washington’s military actions against Iran, a stance that has reportedly frustrated Trump.
Last Saturday, G7 foreign ministers called for an “immediate and unconditional end” to Iranian attacks against U.S. allies in the Middle East.

Pentagon to deploy 3,000 troops to Persian Gulf as Middle East tensions escalate
The Pentagon is planning to deploy nearly 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Persian Gulf, according to two senior officials cited Tuesday by Spanish newspaper El País.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah warned it would confront any attempt at occupation following Israel’s announcement that its military will take control of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, located about 30 kilometers from the border.
In recent hours, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on Beirut, while Iran and Hezbollah responded with attacks on Israel, leaving at least six people with minor injuries in Tel Aviv.
The escalation comes as global markets react to renewed instability. The price of oil rose again above $100 per barrel after a brief decline the previous day, following an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a five-day truce on attacks targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure.
Despite the announcement, Iranian authorities reported that two projectiles struck a gas pipeline in Khorramshahr and administrative buildings at a gas facility in Isfahan early Tuesday.
