In Mexico, the people rule, President Sheinbaum states

Mexico, Jan 8 (Prensa Latina) President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted on Wednesday that in Mexico, the people rule, and described recent statements by the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, as false.

“In Mexico, the people rule, because the president was elected by the people of Mexico, and we are addressing the problem of insecurity,” the head of the Executive clarified in response to a question about Trump’s comments about an alleged government of the cartels.

“With all due respect, because maybe yesterday (Trump) had bad information and thinks that (former president) Felipe Calderón and (Genaro) García Luna (former Secretary of Security from 2006 to 2012 and convicted in the United States for links to drug trafficking) still rule,” she stated.

During her regular press conference, the Mexican president informed that the results in terms of security at the end of 2024 will be announced on Thursday, and reiterated the willingness of her administration to collaborate and come to an understanding with the next government of the United States.

“I am sure of this, defending our sovereignty as a free, independent and sovereign country and collaborating in everything we can collaborate on, from trade issues, which I am sure we will also come to an understanding, to security and migration issues,” she added.

The president emphasized once again Mexico’s interest in stopping the smuggling of weapons from the United States, since 75 percent of those devices seized here come from there.

“We are going to collaborate and also for humanitarian reasons in everything that has to do with drug trafficking, but we are also very interested in addressing the smuggling of weapons from the United States into Mexico,” said Sheinbaum, who expressed confidence in a good bilateral relationship. jg/ro/las
