The opposition in Mexico has expressed diverse opinions about the presidency of Donald Trump. The PAN senator, Marko Cortés, praised Trump's new administration, although he indicated that the measure to declare criminal organizations as terrorist groups should be taken by Mexico. Cortés highlighted the importance of effective collaboration in the fight against organized crime, which, unfortunately, is gaining ground in Mexican territory.
On the other hand, PRI senator Claudia Anaya emphasized the need for the Mexican government to act urgently to ensure the services required due to the mass deportation of migrants from the United States. This situation is expected to put pressure on national resources and increase the demand for social services, housing, and employment, which could result in an increase in inflation.
In this context, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Senate of the Republic, supported the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, in seeking collaboration with the U.S. government, highlighting Mexico's sovereignty and independence. Fernández Noroña stated that they will remain firm in defending national sovereignty against any measures announced by Trump.
The coordinator of the Ciudadano Movement bench in the Senate, Clemente Castañeda, urged acting decisively in the face of possible threats or intrusions, rejecting the idea of considering drug trafficking groups as terrorists. Additionally, he showed readiness to handle deportations by implementing adequate social security coverage.
In summary, the opposition in Mexico has expressed various positions regarding Donald Trump's presidency, highlighting the importance of effective collaboration, the defense of national sovereignty, and the need to guarantee services for migrants affected by the announced immigration policies.
