Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, said at the Zócalo that Mexicans do not want interference, interventionism or violation of our territoriality.

On the eve of the 2027 midterm elections, she delivered a speech steeped in historical references to Mexico’s struggles for independence and sovereignty, with an allusion to growing pressures from the United States under the guise of fighting “narcoterrorism”. “No foreign power, no economic or political elite has the right to dictate the present and future of our homeland. That belongs only to the people of Mexico,” she told thousands of supporters gathered in the capital’s main square, according to Xinhua, in text republished by Mexico News Net.
