- She emphasized that Morena’s internal prohibition applies from 2027 and that the Constitution bars immediate succession nationwide starting in 2030.
- Sheinbaum said she has not met with Velasco and noted that electoral and interparty talks are being handled by the Interior Ministry under Rosa Icela Rodríguez.
