New Investment Plans / New Agreement With Cananea Miners

Mixed Investment Plans for 2026. President Claudia Sheinbaum said that in 2026 her administration will roll out new investment schemes that combine public funding with private capital, starting with PEMEX. She added that her government will also channel more money into key infrastructure projects and nationwide highway construction.

She added that the strategy will boost public investment through new mechanisms that differ from traditional public-private partnerships, and that similar mixed models will be applied to PEMEX’s infrastructure projects. According to Sheinbaum, these initiatives are designed to attract more investment while improving social well-being.

New Agreement With Cananea Miners. Sheinbaum celebrated the agreement to end the Cananea miners’ strike, calling it a historic moment for Sonora. She said full details will be announced in the state, and emphasized that the deal includes compensation for workers and progress on cleaning up pollution in the Sonora River after years of delays.

She stressed that the community’s demands have finally been met, marking a major step forward in the Cananea Justice Plan.

New Volaris–Viva Alliance. The president described the planned merger between Volaris and Viva Aerobús as positive for the country, saying it could lead to higher investment and stronger tourism. 

While noting that antitrust authorities still need to review the deal, she said the companies aim to expand fleets, invest in maintenance facilities, and raise service quality, particularly for routes to the United States, while keeping both brands.
