Soberanía 81: Just a Flash in the “PAN”
In this episode of Soberanía we unpack the Relaunch of the PAN: what the party’s reset looks like, who’s driving it, and whether it can really reclaim relevance? José Luis and Kurt then shift to the government’s response to recent heavy rains, assessing preparedness, relief efforts, and political fallout on the ground. We also analyze Mexico’s foreign-policy stance as President Sheinbaum insists Mexico will not abandon Cuba, exploring the diplomatic and domestic stakes of that position. We close with our regular Losers & Haters segment, calling out a familiar figure to longtime listeners.
