One day after deputies and senators expressed their support for the government to defend Mexican sovereignty against the United States, national leaders of the PAN and PRI accused the governments of Morena of being complicit with organized crime and responsible for the measures and threats made by Donald Trump against Mexico.
At the inauguration of the plenary meeting of the National Action deputies in Nuevo León, PAN leader Jorge Romero pointed out that President Trump is not lying when he states that there are areas controlled by organized crime in Mexico for the past six years. Romero emphasized the need to combat organized crime regardless of the threats from the U.S. president.
"It is a task and a duty of this government to combat organized crime, beyond the threats of a foreign president. That is the demand and call of National Action," highlighted Romero, who announced José Elías Lixa as the new coordinator of the bench.
On the other hand, the national leader of the PRI, Alejandro Moreno, rejected supporting U.S. military intervention and held the governments of Morena and López Obrador's policies responsible for the current situation. Moreno criticized the stance of "hugs, not gunfire" and the lack of combat against organized crime, stating that Trump's decisions are due to the incapacity and lack of strategy of the Mexican government.
For Moreno, saying that the opposition supports a foreign invasion or labeling them as traitors to the homeland is a vile lie. He emphasized that incapacity, inefficiency, and improvisation characterize the Morena governments regarding foreign policy, stating that they are responsible for the current situation in the country.
