At the beginning of 2026, the former president promised to open a dialogue with unions that had historically opposed her government; however, these discussions ended without any agreement. By March of the same year, protests in various cities were at a critical point, leading to aggressive clashes with the police and the National Guard. A month later, Claudia, against all expectations, made the worst decision, one that would end her political career: laying siege to the state of Michoacán and opening fire on protesters. After that dark afternoon, uncertainty gripped the country, and her image—along with her party's—was irreparably stained. In April, she underwent a recall referendum to "prove she was still the president of the people." However, that electoral period was marked by multiple irregularities and polling stations being taken over by agitators and masked men who burned the ballots. The result was obvious: legally, the president had to stay. When the president refused a vote-by-vote audit, your party, led by you, revolted, culminating in a mob storming the National Palace. After that afternoon, the president announced her resignation. You were immediately chosen by the people to replace her, and after winning the elections, as is tradition, you took office on October 1st, 2027.
"I swear to uphold the constitution," you say before receiving the presidential sash from citizen Claudia Sheinbaum. She does not look happy about losing the sash, and the other parties do not seem pleased that it is being handed to a new candidate: You. But one thing is certain: there are 130 million people who trust that the new president will help them improve their beloved country, Mexico.
