After the visit that a delegation of US congressmen made to their counterparts from Mexico in San Lázaro, Republican representative Carlos A. Giménez spread a message on his social networks in which he describes his experience in the country last week.
He points out that “although President Claudia Sheinbaum canceled meetings with the delegation almost upon our arrival, I had the honor of meeting at the United States embassy in Mexico and with the brave US marines who proudly serve there.”
However, later, in a response also on social networks, the Mexican embassy in the United States expressed the federal government’s version on the matter: “diplomatic commitments are only confirmed once the schedules are mutually agreed upon through official channels. Since that process was not completed, there was no meeting to cancel.”
On the other hand, during her morning conference, the President criticized the fact that the capital’s opposition legislators Tania Larios (PRI) and Raul Torres (PAN) abandoned their legislative duties to attend a meeting of the far-right Conservative Political Action Conference. “Okay, let them find out who they are; it’s the Prian always, that seeks totalitarianism, a repressive government, that does not love the people, that uses lies to denigrate people. Very racist, classist and sexist. “It’s good that people know what they are.”
The president disqualified right-wing activism internationally while in Mexico she “hypocritically accuses that authoritarianism is in us.” However, in reality, they rub shoulders “with the international right, which is equal to intolerance, repression, violence and classism.”
Sheinbaum assured that, in reality, those PRI and PAN legislators “is what they long for, but the people of Mexico have always defeated them. It is good for them to say who they are because here, in addition, they carry the surname of corruption; that is their story. On the other hand, now the people are with the transformation.”
To an express question about the expressions of the national leader of the PRI, Alejandro Moreno, before US legislators about the alleged protection in Mexico of narcopoliticians, The president disqualified the moral authority of the PRI member.
–Does Mexico or the Mexican government protect drug traffickers or narcopoliticians?
-Of course not. Also, look who’s saying it. What authority does this man have?
Moments before, he made a reference to the aftermath of reactions that occurred after the arrest of the mayor of Tequila, Diego Rivera, among them, the position assumed by former president Felipe Calderón, who spread the report of The New York Times about the narcopolitics in Mexico.
“Even Calderón – do me a favor – published the article, the fiction of the New York Times. Calderón, who had García Luna as secretary. I mean, there can’t be more hypocrisy than that. “Why don’t you talk about García Luna?” asked the President.
