Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum welcomed Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s reelection in Brazil and endorsed Guadalupe Taddei’s decision to resign as president of Mexico’s National Electoral Institute (INE) during her Monday morning press conference.
Sheinbaum said she was “very, very happy” about Lula’s victory in Sunday’s presidential runoff, describing it as “a breath of fresh air for Latin America and the Caribbean” and the defeat of a right-wing movement. She said Lula’s government was similar to hers and planned to call him Monday to offer her congratulations.
Addressing Taddei’s resignation, Sheinbaum called the decision “good” and said allegations of abuses of power or privileges at the electoral authority should be investigated and audited. Taddei announced her departure amid allegations involving INE contracts awarded to companies linked to José Alfredo Hernández Casillas, whom media reports have described as close to her. Sheinbaum said the INE’s work would continue without interruption before the June 6, 2027 elections.
Sheinbaum also highlighted annual economic growth of 3.5% in August. Citing national statistics agency INEGI, she said construction activity rose 7.9% from a year earlier and identified housing, public infrastructure and electronics production as contributors to growth.
