Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum says she will propose reforms to the country’s constitution to protect Mexico’s sovereignty after U.S.

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans for constitutional reforms to protect Mexico’s sovereignty after the U.S. designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

The designation has raised concerns in Mexico about potential U.S. military intervention.

Sheinbaum vowed to prevent foreign interference in legal matters and proposed enshrining restrictions on foreign agents.

Additionally, she seeks harsher penalties for foreign gun traffickers. With a congressional majority, her Morena party is positioned to pass the reforms despite tensions with the U.S.

    They just did. You really should pay attention to the criticisms and progress parts. You see, the right-wing government imposed by the bipartisan, vassal-to-the-USA regime we had until 2018 had as head of public security a guy who is now jailed for drug trafficking in the USA.

    American media love to say these are “Mexican cartels”, but we believe they are international organizations with a firm structure based in the USA too, and if I’m being honest, I believe at least some “Mexican cartel druglords” are in the CIA and DEA payrolls.

    It’s also interesting to see how this Merida Initiative correlated with the homicide rate in Mexico, during the same period of time it was active (2007-2021). In 2007 we had ~9 homicides per 100,000 people, by 2021 the homicide rate peaked at ~29.
