President Claudia Sheinbaum called it absurd to prohibit the Executive Branch from promoting the recall of mandates and defended that it is not about campaigning for the ruling party, as opposition parties and the PT claim. At the center of the controversy is Article 35 of the so-called 'Plan B' of President Sheinbaum. During her morning press conference on Monday, she defended the possibility of holding this electoral process in 2027 or 2028, but pointed out that it would be best to hold it next year to take advantage of the national election day. When questioned if this scenario would allow for greater influence on the ruling party, Morena, Sheinbaum dismissed the accusation as merely 'an interpretation.' She emphasized that the recall is about whether we stay or go and that it is related to a specific date.
