PT deputy Reginaldo Sandoval warned of the other extreme: “the issue of the law of the strongest comes. And there, how are we Mexican men and women going to defend ourselves? Only with unity.”
Without referring to the Maduro regime and the internal crisis in that country, he asked opponents to reflect that it is not appropriate to validate the actions of the United States.
“You here are on the side of North American interest, of the intervention of the United States, and that it also does so in Mexico. What a shame. Because there is no doubt that it can be clearly accused of treason to the country. And it seems wrong to me.”
Although no voice from PRI or PAN asked that the US government intervene in Mexico, even if it was to combat drug trafficking as Trump himself has proposed to President Claudia Sheinbaum, Morena and the PT joined that speech.
At that point, Sandoval even spoke of a “narco state” in Mexico, but he attributed it to past governments and asked PRI and PAN to reflect and self-criticize, because with the declaration that drug traffickers are terrorists, the country could face that risk.
“We have always had difficulties with the United States, because it was the dominance of the strongest, which is the risk we have now due to this imperialist intervention that the United States made in Venezuela,” according to the PT.
Sandoval asked to analyze geopolitics and see the background of Trump’s actions, which are not for democracy in Venezuela
“For the first time, the imperialist action of the United States is honest, because it clearly says that it is not going for democracy or freedom or justice, it is going for Venezuelan oil, because it is a competition with the other two blocs, with the Russian bloc and with the China bloc,” he said.
Jesús Irugami Perea Cruz, Emilio Ramón Ramírez and Juan Carlos Loera de la Rosa, deputies and senator from Morena, warned that the opposition wants US interference under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking.
And as in Venezuela, the real objective is resources, Loera said. “There is no doubt that the intervention in Venezuela has the purpose of seizing the great Venezuelan reserve, to block access to its competitors and to do a big business with the resources of a sovereign country, which now returns to its former colonial state.”
PAN legislators rejected an intervention in Mexico, but accused that it is Morena who fears it, because “it is involved with crime.”
“They are not worried about the Venezuelan people. What worries them is that they know that there are drug cartels in Mexico that have already been declared narcoterrorist organizations. And they are terrified that they could get their hands on them,” said the leader of the PAN senators, Ricardo Anaya.
In the PAN “we have always defended, we defend and we will defend the sovereignty of Mexico, there is no doubt about that. What we are not going to defend, for any reason and under any circumstances, is the unpresentable spurious dictator Nicolás Maduro,” he said.
Only the Citizen Movement (MC) was in the intermediate position, since Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas and Representative Juan Zavala repudiated the interference as much as the Maduro government.
“We have our convictions very clear. Neither with the Maduro dictatorship, nor with Trump’s intervention,” said the second.
Maduro is, agreed with Anaya, of the PAN, a “dictator” and that country remains “under a criminal government, under an illegitimate government, which stole the elections in 2024, and which has forced more than 8 million Venezuelans into exile.”
But he also empathized with the PT: “the president of the United States has publicly recognized that the end of the intervention had commercial purposes. There is no longer even talk of democracy, there is no longer even talk of a regime change. There it is very clear what the objectives are.”
