Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña dropped the bomb: President Claudia Sheinbaum asked the Morena groups and allies in Congress to join forces against the accusations of the United States government.
The meeting was at the National Palace. And according to Noroña, the message was clear: unity and a firm stance against any attempt at foreign intervention. He left no room for half measures.
“The United States government can make whatever lists it wants, there are two paths: the defense of sovereignty or surrender,” declared the legislator.
Translation into street language: either you are with Mexico, or you drag yourself. No grays. Unambiguous. The official narrative is already drawn: any external criticism is an attack on sovereignty.
The interesting thing here is what it doesn’t say. What “lists” are you referring to? Sanctions? Extraditions? The timing is suspicious: just when trade and migration tensions with the northern neighbor increase.
History has taught us to distrust. Every time a Mexican government invokes sovereignty, it is usually to cover up something. But hey, for now the speech is served: close ranks or be branded as a traitor. We’ll see if the numbers in Congress agree.
