The opposition has expressed its views regarding the position of the Mexican government in negotiations with the United States. Parliamentary leaders have questioned the strategy employed so far and expressed their concern about the lack of clarity in the government's relationship with organized crime.
Alejandro Moreno, senator and leader of the PRI, pointed out that despite the call for national unity, it is essential to support sovereignty without backing a government that does not define its stance against organized crime. He also mentioned that Trump's threats have not been enough to stop the imposition of tariffs.
On the other hand, Clemente Castañeda from Movimiento Ciudadano emphasized the importance of a foreign policy based on bilateral and multilateral strategies to protect the sectors affected by trade decisions. José Lixa, coordinator of the PAN deputies, urged the ruling party to take responsibility for any links between government members and organized crime.
Amid uncertainty, parliamentary leaders have criticized the call for a rally in defense of national sovereignty, arguing that this would not stop Trump's actions. Ricardo Anaya recommended a response with targeted tariffs on sectors that directly affect the voters of Republican congressmen.
In light of the situation, public safety objectives and economic exchanges have been called into question. Opponents such as Marko Cortés have labeled the government's stance as a "perfect storm" that could trigger an economic crisis and an increase in violence and insecurity in the country. The lack of transparency in the agreements with Trump has raised concerns in the opposition, which questions the pacts made by Sheinbaum's government.
