Numerous politicians of the Fourth Transformation in Mexico have expressed their concern about recent events and have advocated for "National Sovereignty" in order to protect themselves before citizens. In response, the Mexican government has introduced an express constitutional amendment to safeguard the country from possible unilateral actions, such as the declaration of drug cartels as terrorist organizations by other nations.
On the other hand, members of the National Executive Committee of Morena, including Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, met with legislators in the Senate to set up affiliation modules for their party, an unprecedented event in Mexican politics. This constitutional reform also prohibits any type of foreign invasion without the consent of Mexican authorities, including situations related to the fight against drug trafficking.
The need for citizens to voice their opinions is highlighted, considering that the policies implemented in the past have not succeeded in reducing violence linked to drug trafficking, which has increased significantly.
The classification of six Mexican cartels as terrorists by the US government has generated additional tensions. This, along with disturbances and the poor management in some states, reflects a troubling disintegration in various areas of Mexican society.
The reform to article 40 aims to reinforce national sovereignty and the inviolability of the Constitution in an attempt to protect the country from foreign interests. Recent events and the decisions made could have serious long-term consequences for Mexico.
