Mexico’s National Front in Defense of Sovereignty Responds to Trump’s Attack Threats

ByJay Watts

Mexico’s Frente Nacional en Defensa de la Soberanía, which appears to be affiliated with Mexico’s ruling Morena party, arising out of the Cuenta del Comité Antifascista 4T Patria Grande, released a statement at 11PM on Thursday, January 8th responding to comments US President Donald Trump made in an interview suggesting the US would soon be attacking Mexico. The interview with Sean Hannity was broadcast on Fox News that same evening.

Position Statement from the National Front in Defense of Sovereignty

From the National Front in Defense of Sovereignty, we strongly condemn the recent statements by President Donald J. Trump and the United States administration, which pose a direct threat to the territorial integrity, independence, and free rights of Mexico as a sovereign nation.

These events occurred five days after the U.S. military intervention against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which resulted in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Deputy Cilia Flores, with a death toll of 100.

It is absolutely unacceptable for a foreign government to condition the peace, security, and lives of our people on unilateral decisions, and even less so to suggest the possibility of entering our country militarily or coercively under the pretext of combating criminal groups, when it has been demonstrated that the weapons and financing that sustain drug trafficking come, on the contrary, from the United States

Mexico’s sovereignty is non-negotiable, not for sale, and will not be discussed under pressure, ultimatums, or external intimidation.

Any proposal that implies the armed presence of the United States on Mexican territory represents a violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the Doctrine of Non-Intervention, and the free self-determination of peoples, as well as the fundamental principles of respect among nations.

It is time to close ranks as the Mexican people. We cannot allow foreign interests to interfere in our decisions or undermine our political and territorial sovereignty.

Anyone who adopts positions that endorse the intrusion of foreign forces on our soil must be denounced as a traitor to the nation.

We demand immediately that all our elected representatives in the Legislative and Executive branches, and in social and political organizations, speak out firmly in defense of sovereignty and unconditionally support policies that protect our integrity as a nation.

We urgently call upon the people of Mexico to mobilize, defend our self-determination, and support our President of the Republic, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who has reaffirmed that Mexico will reject any attempt at foreign military intervention on its territory.

Today we say loud and clear: Cooperation, yes; subordination and intervention, no.

Mexico’s sovereignty is loved and defended united and without concessions!

“Anyone who incites violence is wrong.
Anyone who encourages hatred is wrong.
Anyone who believes that force replaces justice is wrong.
Anyone who calls for foreign intervention is wrong.
Anyone who thinks that by allying with foreign powers they will gain strength is mistaken.
Anyone who believes that women are weak is wrong.”
