Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard tested positive for covid-19, although he clarified that he does not have serious symptoms: I feel like when you get a cold
He posted on his social networks.
He clarified that he did not attend the meeting of the security cabinet at the National Palace yesterday and that he will continue working from his home.
Hours earlier, the foreign minister published a video from his office in the Foreign Ministry, where he reported that he attended meetings in preparation for the presidential tour of the United States and on migration and development programs for Central America, but did not detail which officials he met with.
Last Sunday, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) attended a meeting of municipal authorities in Guadalajara, Jalisco, where he stated that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has already uncovered it five times by mentioning it as one of the several candidates to succeed him in office. During that meeting, he announced that he would begin with tours throughout the country, with the intention of adding support for the internal poll with which Morena’s candidacy will be decided for 2024.
Yesterday morning, the official announced on his social networks that he was making the number 5515025360 available to the public, “my what’s up to stay in touch”, and stated that he would read all the messages.
However, he received several responses with complaints that he did not answer his messages and criticism that he did not know the correct name of the application.
Some users commented that, after sending a WhatsApp to the official, they received several stickers in response with caricatures of the foreign minister illustrating phrases commonly used in this application, such as I saw what you deleted
, Good morning friends
and another where it appears next to the figure of the President and the legend together we make history
