“The opposite of honesty is corruption, which should always be seen as what it is: a betrayal of all values. Corruption is disloyalty, so it cannot have a place in our institutions, it must be sanctioned firmly and at the same time exalt honesty as a principle of life,” he said.
“To defend sovereignty, values are needed in people and institutions. The armed forces have them. The honor, which forces to live with righteousness and to know that each action represents Mexico; loyalty, which means absolute fidelity to the people and the country and Strengthen all other values, because without it nothing endures, “said the president.
The pronouncement occurs after the recent accusations for alleged fiscal huachicol that involve Marine commanders.
In this context, the president stressed that the true power and legacy of public servants lies in honor, loyalty and honesty, not in bad wealth.
“What is the use of bad money if the reputation and legacy are lost with it? There is no wealth that is worth more than honor. There is no greater power than that of loyalty,” said the federal president.
