President Sheinbaum’s Comments on Venezuela
“Mexico firmly believes that the Americas are not the domain of any doctrine or power. The American Hemisphere belongs to the peoples of each of the countries that comprise it.”
“Mexico firmly believes that the Americas are not the domain of any doctrine or power. The American Hemisphere belongs to the peoples of each of the countries that comprise it.”
The Bolivarian Revolution has succeeded in building a unity among the people, the armed forces, the police, & Bolivarian militias that the US operation of January 3 will not be able to break so easily.
The popular former President of Mexico has been in retirement from politics, but today advised President Trump to “tell the hawks to go to hell”.
The meeting was cancelled this afternoon, citing new circumstances following US military aggression against Venezuela.
The Mexican President emphasized the importance of Latin America and the Caribbean acting together in defense of sovereignty and international law.
Any explanation that justifies the military incursion of the US armed forces betrays the principles of dignity and political independence upon which national sovereignty rests. Anything else is demagoguery.
Foreign Minister Yván Gil reiterated the call for respect for international law and the demand “to stop these criminal attacks.”
The US President and international criminal claimed that President Sheinbaum does not control Mexico.
Mexico often imagines its relationship with the US as a partnership based on economic interdependence, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation. This narrative is functional for diplomacy & reassuring for national elites, but it is false.
Welfare programs with political aims are not the same as forging political alliances with the impoverished population created by voracious neoliberal capitalism.
