“Our migrant brothers and sisters do not forget their family and their homeland and therefore we never forget them either; On the contrary, we recognize them and defend them,” he said during his report on the first 100 days of his government in the Zócalo of Mexico City.
The president highlighted that there was a collaborative relationship in Trump’s first term with former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, especially highlighting the signing of the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada; He maintained that the relationship will be “good and respectful.”
“We will always have our heads held high. Mexico is a free, independent and sovereign country. (…) We coordinate, we collaborate but we never subordinate ourselves,” he added.
The president did not refer to the wave of violence that has hit states like Sinaloa, however she highlighted the security strategy based on four axes: attention to the causes “to prevent young people from seeing criminal groups as an option of life when in reality it is an option of death”; strengthening of the National Guard; intelligence and investigation and the coordination of all levels of government.
“Some would like us to fail, they are going to be left wanting. The security strategy is going to work because there is humanism, dedication and honesty,” he said.
