Mexico City. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo asserted that far-right leader Marine Le Pen “is misinformed,” after she stated that she will not allow the Mexicanization of France through the presence of drug cartels.
She is misinformed, because the Mexicanization that should reach the whole world is that of the values of the people of Mexico, of honesty, of love, of solidarity, of fraternity, which are badly needed today throughout the entire world.

In her campaign launch, Le Pen also offered mass deportation of undocumented migrants.
On another subject, she declined to comment on the flight of Brazil’s Flávio Bolsonaro to the United States. “It explains itself,” she said.
The senator fled Brazil yesterday, after losing Sunday’s presidential elections, at the same time that the government of President Donald Trump announced that it will grant visas to the former far-right candidate and his family.
