President Claudia Sheinbaum led her morning conference on April 23, 2025, from the National Palace to address the election to the Judiciary and explain the functions of the positions for which voting will take place on June 1. Several officials were present at the conference, including the Secretary of Women, the Secretary of Welfare, the Legal Adviser of the Presidency, the Secretary of Interior, a former minister, and the head of IMSS.
Regarding the leak of candidates with links to drug trafficking in the Judicial election, the case of failures in filtering candidates was mentioned, which included profiles linked to drug trafficking. Sheinbaum explained that if evidence of criminal connections arises in any case, the situation will be analyzed, and precautionary measures could be taken, even if the candidates are already on the ballot.
Two months after the selection process, possible infiltrations of profiles linked to drug trafficking were mentioned. This issue arises in the context of the campaign period for the Judicial election on June 1.
On the other hand, the Secretary of Welfare informed that from August 4 to 30, a new registration period for the Women's Welfare Pension will be opened. Additionally, those who registered in February will receive their support card between April 21 and 30, being contacted beforehand to coordinate the delivery.
Furthermore, the creation of a special phone number, 079, was announced, starting May 1, to provide support and advice to women in emergency or violence situations. This initiative will be coordinated between the Secretary of Women and the Digital Transformation Agency to offer legal guidance and psycho-emotional support.
Sheinbaum had previously announced the presentation of a letter addressed to Morena against early campaign promotions; however, she later decided not to present it at the morning conference, arguing that it is a party and political issue. The letter was related to alleged early campaign acts by a senator from the party. Sheinbaum mentioned that the matter is public and that she will respond to questions regarding it in future conferences.
