Sheinbaum: Support from governors
The President thanked the National Conference of Governors (CONAGO) for its support. The CONAGO signed a statement reaffirming that Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign country.
In response to the PAN’s criticisms regarding the relationship between the Mexican and U.S. governments, Sheinbaum pointed out that some members of this party have had a relationship marked by subordination and selling-out to Washington and stated that, in contrast to the PAN’s proposal to reach agreements with the United States on security matters, PAN governors support the federal government, as shown in CONAGO’s statement.

She highlighted that, thanks to the Fourth Transformation, Mexico has recovered collective dignity, a central element that represents the country’s values.
