Even when television stations are not obliged to stop transmitting the antimigrant spots of the US government, because current legislation lacks a restriction in this regard, It is wrong that Mexican companies promote those ads
President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said.
He said that So far there is no rule that avoids it
so these days will send the law initiative that prohibits foreign governments to disseminate political propaganda in the country.
On the controversy unleashed by the US promotional ones who stigmatize migrants, the president rejected that he will send a diplomatic note for this campaign, but “we are going to do something else: we will change the law so that it is prohibited that foreign governments make political or ideological propaganda in the country, which is even stronger. They can do it in the United States.
Until now, there is no legislation, because the article that prohibited foreign governments from propaganda in Mexico was withdrawn from the Telecommunications Law.
In his Mañanera conference, Sheinbaum hoped that the initiative that will turn to Congress be approved unanimously by parliamentary groups, because there is coincidence that no foreign government can do political or ideological campaigns in the country. They may hire promotional to disseminate their culture or promote their nation for tourist purposes.
He commented that for now, the National Council to prevent discrimination, through the Ministry of the Interior sent a letter to television and broadcasters where he says: It is discriminatory; We ask you to lower this ad
but there is nothing legal that forces the television station or the radio fus it. We are going to put it again in the law, because it is not correct. ”
On the other hand, he mentioned that as soon as the new United States ambassador to Mexico, Ron Johnson, present his credentials to the country’s authorities, will be accepted as a representative of his government. He predicted that There will be a good relationship, such as the one with the United States government, which within the diplomatic channels is mutual respect

Again, the president addressed the issue of Subsopatriasto those who had alluded on the eve in Veracruz: “In the history of Mexico, who have gone out outside to solve an internal problem have been conservatives. And recently, well, just listen to some statements by the then candidate of the then candidate of the PRIAN, When he talked about creating binational forces. No, in Mexico we solve Mexicans. ”
On the elections in the Judiciary, he justified the reform to renew judges, magistrates and ministers, since that instance It was full of nepotism and corruption
