López Obrador recalled that historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln would never have accepted that the United States government acted as a “world tyranny.”
“Neither Bolívar nor Lincoln would accept that the United States government acted as a world tyranny,” said the former president, who stressed that, although he is retired from politics, his libertarian convictions prevent him from remaining silent about what happened in Venezuela.
López Obrador also addressed a message to the president of the United States, Donald Trump: he suggested that he not fall into “complacency” or allow himself to be influenced by the “hawks.”
In this sense, he called on Trump to act with “practical judgment” and warned that an ephemeral victory can turn into a long-term defeat.
The former Mexican president also emphasized his support for the international policy of respect for the sovereignty of countries. He even cited Benito Juárez’s phrase: “Respect for the rights of others is peace” and reaffirmed his commitment to libertarian ideals and his Latin American identity.
Likewise, López Obrador expressed his support for President Claudia Sheinbaum, whom he said he supported “unconditionally”, and stated that he would not send a hug to President Donald Trump for the moment.
“Remember that ‘respect for the rights of others is peace’, as Benito Juárez taught us in the 19th century. I am very proudly Mexican, but also Latin American. I unconditionally support my president Claudia Sheinbaum. For now I am not sending her a hug,” he wrote on social networks.
