Claudia Sheinbaum denies fissures in the '4T' and criticizes Julio Scherer's book

President Claudia Sheinbaum refutes claims of internal issues within the fourth transformation (4T) and critiques Julio Scherer’s book.

President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed allegations from commentators regarding supposed internal divisions within the fourth transformation (4T) movement, firmly denying the existence of any 'fissures.' During a morning press conference, Sheinbaum challenged critics, asking for specifics on these alleged fissures, asserting that there is clarity on the path the movement is taking. She characterized the commentators’ claims as a repetitive narrative produced by a group intent on stirring discord.

Sheinbaum specifically referenced Julio Scherer Ibarra's book, "Ni venganza ni perdón," which connects former spokesperson for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Jesús Ramírez Cuevas, to a tax evasion network led by Sergio Carmona. She stated she has neither read the book nor intends to, signifying her dismissive stance towards such critiques, emphasizing her commitment to the goals of the 4T rather than engaging in what she perceives as unfounded allegations.

The implications of Sheinbaum's statements highlight her efforts to maintain a united front as Mexican politics becomes increasingly intense and marked by criticism. By dismissing the allegations as mere gossip, she aims to reinforce the stability of the 4T and her leadership role within it. This reflects a broader strategy of the administration to combat dissenting narratives, asserting confidence in the movement's direction despite external pressures and scrutiny.
