Mexico's Sheinbaum advocates for sincere administration, claiming the country's prestige has been restored by the 4T government.

The Mexican Fourth Transformation (4T), led by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and his political allies, has been a driving force in recent political affairs and agreements, particularly with the United States. This broad political and social restructuring aims to end the "neoliberal era" and address deep-rooted issues like corruption, inequality, and judicial reform.

The 4T has garnered significant support from the Mexican people, especially those from poorer segments. This domestic base has enabled the government to pursue significant constitutional reforms, such as the democratization of the judiciary through popular elections of judges, a move aimed at curbing corruption but criticized for weakening checks and balances and consolidating political control.

In terms of Mexico’s relations with the United States, the 4T’s political agenda influences Mexico’s stance on security cooperation and sovereignty issues. For instance, the dispute over labeling Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations by the U.S. administration sparked political debate within Mexico, with government leaders, such as President Claudia Sheinbaum, rejecting expanded U.S. military roles on Mexican soil due to concerns for national sovereignty.

Institutional changes under the 4T, such as the elevation of the National Guard to a full military branch, reflect the ongoing restructuring of Mexico’s security apparatus, which plays into broader political agreements and policy coordination with the U.S., especially in combating organized crime and managing immigration.

The 4T also places a strong emphasis on social equity and the return of resources to the Mexican people. For instance, 176 indigenous peoples will benefit from a Fund with 139 million pesos, while 39 communities in Amealco will receive 43.1 million pesos.

Notably, the current president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has praised Hugo Aguilar, the next president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), and acknowledged the importance of indigenous peoples in the 4T. However, the absence of Mauricio Kuri, the PAN governor of Querétaro, during the event was noted.

Hugo Aguilar, who is of indigenous origin, will take office in September following a judicial election. He received over six million votes, a testament to his broad support among the Mexican people.

President Sheinbaum Pardo has emphasized that the resources of the people are sacred and are returned to the Mexican people. She has also stated that the President, when talking with any other President, including the President of the United States, is given value by a unique force: the Mexican people.

In conclusion, the Mexican people—through electoral and social support—have enabled the Fourth Transformation to reshape governance and judicial institutions, affecting Mexico’s internal politics and its negotiation posture with the United States on key issues like security cooperation. The 4T's emphasis on sovereignty and social equity frames Mexico’s recent political affairs and bilateral agreements, often demanding a balance between domestic reform and international collaboration.
