Noting that General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río professed a “sincere and deep love for the people,” which “is the basis of any politician,” the president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador commemorated the 85th Anniversary of the Oil Expropriation.
In this context, the president recalled the statements of Republican legislators in recent days for his initiative to intervene in Mexico to combat drug gangs, to which he replied that our country is not a colony of the United States.
“We remind those hypocritical and irresponsible politicians that Mexico is an independent and free country, not a colony or a protectorate of the United States, and that they can threaten us with committing any outrage, but we will never, ever allow them to violate our sovereignty and trample on the dignity of our homeland,” he endorsed.
Likewise, he assured that any of the presidential candidates for 2024 guarantees the continuity of the Fourth Transformation; but he called them to maintain the unity of the movement.
I am convinced that any of the applicants who wins the poll to elect our movement’s candidate will apply the same policy in favor of the people and in favor of the nation.”
Flanked on his left side by the so-called “presidential corcholatas”, the head of government, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the secretaries of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, and of Foreign Relations, Marcelo Ebrard, added:
“Continuity with change is assured. There is nothing to fear. Of course, we have to stay together, always looking towards the future and the happiness of our fellow men, working from below and with the people and without neglecting the strategy that we aptly call the revolution of consciences”.
