He warned in statements reproduced by the Mexican national press, that the Spanish government, headed by Pedro Sánchez, “will defend the interests of Spain in any circumstance and in any country.”
In Mexico, these words are interpreted as a defense against López Obrador’s accusations against the Spanish companies Iberdrola, Repsol and OHL, widely benefited by the neoliberal governments of Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto in their privatization policies.
When asked about the “pause” in relations to which the Mexican president alluded in his press conference, the Spanish minister commented that “I understand that they have been made in an informal context to a journalist’s question and, of course, they do not represent an official communicated position. In fact, the Spanish government has not received any official translation.”
The Mexican president proposed making a “pause” in the relationship with Spain, at least until the end of the six-year term, considering that companies from that nation have acted advantageously, under the protection of political power.
He clarified that it was a public statement, not a formal diplomatic declaration by the Mexican government.
“We kind of need a break; There is no need to get angry, it is just going slowly, I already said it, a pause, a pause for a while is convenient for us… It is a comment, a talk, so that people have all the elements, ”he specified.
The approach was made when, when addressing the issue of constitutional reform in electrical matters, he introduced the issue of the Spanish companies that have looted the country with leonine contracts, and immediately afterwards he commented on the pause in bilateral relations.
We want, he said, good relations with all the governments, with all the peoples of the world, but we do not want them to rob us, just as the Spaniards do not want them to come from any country -and they do well- to rob them, because we do not want them to rob us either. steal”.
