Record

Her government passed constitutional changes extending social programmes, moved the National Guard under the Defence Ministry and negotiated with the Trump administration over tariffs, migration and cartels, including deploying troops to the northern border in 2025. Supporters cite social spending, minimum wage increases and high approval ratings in her first year.

Critics cite the judicial election, which opponents called a farce and UN experts warned could be infiltrated by organised crime, the dissolution of autonomous watchdogs and continuing violence. In March 2026 her allies in the Labor and Green parties withheld support for her electoral reform, her first defeat in Congress; the Senate then approved a narrower plan that dropped her proposal to bring forward the presidential recall vote.
