In her morning conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that she will present two new constitutional reforms to the Congress of the Union to safeguard Mexico's national sovereignty, following the designation of Mexican cartels as terrorists by the United States. "Never interventionism, much less invasion," asserted the leader.
The proposed reforms aim to modify Articles 39 and 40 of the Constitution, related to national sovereignty, with the goal of protecting Mexico from any interference by foreign authorities. Sheinbaum emphasized that she will not allow any form of intervention from the United States in internal matters.
Regarding the trafficking of weapons into Mexico, Sheinbaum pointed out that it is necessary to prevent criminal groups from obtaining arms exclusively used by the U.S. Army. The modification proposal highlights that the Mexican people will not accept foreign interventions that threaten the integrity and sovereignty of the country.
The leader insisted on the importance of coordination and collaboration but rejected any form of subordination or foreign interference. In relation to the guidelines from the U.S. Department of Justice to combat cartels and criminal organizations, Sheinbaum criticized drug trafficking in U.S. territory and questioned her government's actions.
Regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's intention to exterminate Mexican cartels, Sheinbaum urged U.S. authorities to start with their own country and address illicit activities within their borders. Mexico's stance is clear: collaboration in the fight against organized crime will occur, but always respecting national sovereignty and avoiding any form of external interference.
