Claudia Sheinbaum proudly announced this week that in 2024 Mexico achieved a historic record in foreign direct investment. The leader follows the policies of her predecessor, which have led to the rapid construction of an authoritarian regime, dismantling democracy.
In the framework of the recently presented "Mexico Plan", the importance of foreign investment for the country's economic development is highlighted. Although Sheinbaum insists on this point, the reality shows that foreign investment has not reached the expected levels.
The celebration of investment is criticized as false, as the amount of foreign direct investment in 2024 was negligible compared to previous decades. Sheinbaum's effectiveness as a leader is questioned, with comparisons made to her predecessor.
Despite the positive announcements, data reveals a decline in foreign direct investment in the country. It is noted that, in real terms, foreign investment has been the lowest since 1990, casting doubt on the official narrative.
In September 2024, a strong political earthquake shook the country, initiating the destruction of institutions. Sheinbaum has been criticized for her focus on foreign investment, while the reality presents a situation different from that portrayed by her government.
