14:16Earlier, the Mexican people mobilized to express her support for President Claudia Sheinbaum,
14:20who, according to polls, has an approval rating of over 70%.
14:24During these days, it has been demonstrated that even though they can carry out dirty campaigns in social networks,
14:42even though they try to buy bots and robots, even if they try to do alliances with groups of power in Mexico and abroad,
14:54even though they can hire some analysts and communicators in order to spread lies in news outlets,
15:08even if they continue to try to sell the idea to the world that Mexico is not a free and democratic country,
15:16even if they continue to spread alleged experts that are making up fiction stories,
15:26even if they try to weave new alliances with conservatism here and abroad,
15:36even if they try to do all of that, they will not win over the people of Mexico or their president.
15:46Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had added social progress achieved during the Fourth Transformation.
15:56We went from a country governed by an oligarchy,
16:02where presidents and institutions, public institutions,
16:09were only serving a few that thought they owned Mexico,
16:15to a true democracy,
16:17where the government works in the favor of everyone,
16:24but especially for those who need it the most.
16:29So let this be heard.
16:33We came to government in order to continue and to deepen that Fourth Transformation of the public life in Mexico.
16:49Mexican President also highlighted the success of the economic policies implemented over the last seven years.
16:55With the transformation, the minimum wage went from 88 daily pesos to 315 pesos.

17:38The average wage in a monthly term has also increased in a 77 percent in real terms.
17:49Inflation is controlled.
17:51As October ends this year, it was just over 3.5 percent.
18:01And direct foreign investment has reached a historical record in the third trimester of 2025 with over 40 billion dollars.
18:14President Chairman Obama emphasized that 13 million Mexicans were lifted out of poverty during the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

18:3813.5 million of Mexicans came out of poverty.
18:45Mexican President Xi Jinping reaffirmed that during her administration she will fight for the Mexican people to have a dignified life.
18:54And we will continue to fight for so that Mexicans can eat three times a day with healthy meals, have access to education, healthcare and household.
19:12We do not believe in consumism and the power of money, in greed, and no, we do not kneel before the powerful.
19:29We believe in a Mexico that is full of freedom and justice, a sovereign Mexico of true democracy where whoever is leading will always be the people of Mexico.
