“Starting tomorrow (Saturday), the teacher Edgar Amador Zamora will be secretary of Finance and Public Credit. He is an honest economist, convinced of the Fourth Transformation. The whole team stays. Mexico has a strong economy,” she added.
In a video also uploaded on X and in which she appears alongside both officials, the president described Ramírez de la O’s new task as fundamental, particularly due to the existing relationship with the United States.
Ramírez de la O held the same position during a large part of the government of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024).
