In the final stretch of his administration’s term in office, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that he is very pleased for having laid the foundations for country’s transformation, since a change of consciousness and mentality in the Mexican people was achieved. He also noted that his administration has reduced poverty and inequality as never before, thanks to the Well-Being programs.
The President reaffirmed that Mexico maintains its demand that Ecuador apologize for the invasion of the country’s embassy in Quito, since it was a clear violation of sovereignty and the right to asylum. In addition, the complaint filed before the International Court of Justice not only seeks to sanction Ecuador, but also to establish a procedure to expel those nations that violate the sovereignty of others from the UN.

From September 2 to 14, the President will tour the 23 states that participate in the IMSS Bienestar health-care program.
