Officials Celebrate Claudia Sheinbaum’s Election Anniversary in Cancun
Cancun, Quintana Roo — Councilman Marcos Basilio Saldivar joined Governor Mara Lezama and hundreds of residents at the Malecón Tajamar on Sunday to mark the second anniversary of Claudia Sheinbaum’s historic election as Mexico’s first female president.
The event celebrated the progress of the so-called Fourth Transformation movement, which Sheinbaum leads nationally. Saldivar, a councilman for the Benito Juárez municipality, highlighted the impact of federal projects such as the Tren Maya railway and the Nichupté vehicular bridge on the region’s economy and mobility.
“Today we see how the transformation advances with projects that generate development and well-being for families,” Saldivar said. “Projects like the Tren Maya and the Nichupté Bridge represent a vision of the future that drives mobility, economic growth, and greater opportunities for Quintana Roo and all of Mexico.”
Saldivar praised Governor Lezama’s leadership and reaffirmed his commitment to working from the Benito Juárez city council to address the needs of Cancun residents. He also voiced strong support for President Sheinbaum, joining the crowd in chanting “It is an honor to be with Claudia today!”
