The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), Juan Ramón de la Fuente, yesterday declared himself willing to explain to foreign businessmen and investors the scope of the judicial reform. He also expressed Mexico’s interest in continuing to collaborate with the United States and neighboring countries on the southern border, in the fight against organized crime, but in an area that has to be coordination and not subordination
.
After protesting as secretary before the full Senate, which ratified his appointment by 118 votes in favor and seven against, he stressed that the T-MEC will not be renegotiated and that there will only be one review. We will seek to ensure that what was agreed is respected and that issues that do not strictly have to do with the commercial relationship are not introduced, he said.
In a press conference, he confirmed that in the next two weeks there will be a meeting with presidents and CEOs of a group of very important companies that have many investments and interests in Mexico, most of them American, to clarify and dispel all the doubts that may arise regarding judicial reform.
That is the route we must continue to follow, clarifying and speaking with all those who have a legitimate doubt, which there may be, of course, to also give a legitimate clarification.
he stressed.
Regarding the bilateral agenda with the United States, De la Fuente explained that a work dynamic will be established under the fundamental principle of reciprocal respect for our sovereignties
.
By making these approaches in a cordial, friendly atmosphere, but with sufficient firmness, We are going to manage to channel that relationship precisely in those terms, following up on the high-level political dialogue that began last week with President Joe Biden’s call to President Sheinbaum
he pointed out.
The ratification of De la Fuente as chancellor occurred during a senatorial session in which the Morenistas came to his defense against a series of accusations made against him by the PAN member Lilly Téllez. Hypocrite, lamp of the street and darkness of his house, executor of the foreign policy of a radical, anti-democratic, militant and anti-human rights left
were the adjectives that the former television host used.
The only thing I want is for frustrated actresses not to come to deceive the people of Mexico
the morenoist Yeidckol Polevnsky turned to the blue and whiteafter she insisted that Claudia Sheinbaum’s protest surrender was a huge snub
by the international community.
In the gallery, the one from the cherry party listed that 15 leaders attended Vicente Fox’s inauguration, Felipe Calderón’s 12, Enrique Peña Nieto’s 11, Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s 17 and Sheinbaum’s 16 .
He considered that Téllez is in total confusion and his case is now for a psychiatrist, while other of his co-religionists called the PAN member a liar and mythomaniac
.
PRI senator Claudia Anaya intervened in the discussion, asking her colleagues to raise the tone of the debate.
When requesting a vote in favor of ratification, the Morena senator and president of the Foreign Relations Commission, Alejandro Murat, said that with De la Fuente, Mexico will have an exemplary citizen in the chancellery. He is accompanied not only by his academic profile, as rector and Secretary of Health, but also by his honorability.
He explained that after listening to and exhaustively evaluating his work plan, the Foreign Relations Commission came to the conclusion that not only does he have a clear idea and program regarding foreign policy, but that he also has all the credentials and the prestige required for the good performance of the high responsibility for which it has been proposed.
