# Sheinbaum Presents 100 Commitments, Including No Re-Election, Mandate Revocation, and Wellbeing Pharmacies
On the afternoon of October 1, 2024, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo emerged from the National Palace and headed towards the Plaza de la Constitución, also known as Mexico City’s Zócalo. Welcomed by over a hundred women representing indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities, President Sheinbaum received the ceremonial staff of office.
Standing at the center of the platform, she underwent a traditional cleansing ritual and received blessings and words of encouragement for the future from the representatives. Following the ritual, President Sheinbaum accepted the staff and was briefed on its significance for the indigenous and Afro-Mexican populations.
In her address, Sheinbaum unveiled her administration’s 100 commitments, highlighting key reforms such as those in favor of women, a 40-hour workweek, the launch of Wellbeing Pharmacies (“Farmacias del Bienestar”), a firm stance against re-election, and the promotion of mandate revocation.
She emphasized her determination to resist external political influences and assured that the neoliberal model, which she claims has harmed Mexico, would not return under her leadership.
The Wellbeing Pharmacies are set to be launched in mid-2025, alongside Wellbeing Banks (“Bancos del Bienestar”), to provide free medications primarily to seniors and children. Sheinbaum pledged to strengthen medication distribution programs, provide laboratory testing at most health centers, and ensure proper diagnostics.
On October 3, 2024, President Sheinbaum plans to deliver a package of reforms to Congress, aiming to enshrine substantive gender equality in the Constitution and address wage gaps. Additionally, she announced her gradual plan to achieve a 40-hour workweek and proposed a reform to restore the principle of no re-election for political offices by 2030.
Furthermore, Sheinbaum focused on barring direct successors from taking elective positions and restarting morning press conferences from October 2, 2024. She expressed her commitment to electoral reform, reducing election costs, and undergoing a mandate revocation in 2027, aligning with constitutional provisions.
Sheinbaum also paid tribute to her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, recognizing his enduring influence.
