Mexico Wants No Interference or Interventionism, Sheinbaum Reaffirms

President Claudia Sheinbaum reaffirmed today that Mexico is an independent and sovereign nation, asserting that its citizens reject interference, interventionism, and any violation of national territorial integrity.

“Why does independence continue to define our path? Because as Mexicans, we do not want interference, interventionism, or violations of our territoriality. Since then, Mexico has been an independent and sovereign country,” the president stated.

In the capital’s Zócalo, Sheinbaum concluded 12 days of assemblies across all 32 federal entities, which brought together approximately 850,000 citizens to deliver an account of government results just days before marking the second anniversary of her presidency.

The Chief Executive emphasized the nation’s history, recalling that the war of independence emerged as a massive popular movement that carried the banners of freedom, social justice, and sovereignty.

In that regard, she stressed that no foreign power, nor any economic or political elite, has the right to dictate the present and future of the North American nation, as that determination belongs solely to the people.

She noted that during the neoliberal period (1982–2018), “they tried to convince people that the country’s decisions should be made in luxury offices, turning their backs on the population, handing over the nation's assets to a select few, dismantling social rights, and opening the door to foreign interference.”

“But they were wrong; they failed to understand that these people carry in their DNA the dignity of Hidalgo, the resolve of Morelos, the patriotism of Juárez, and the dedication of revolutionaries like Madero, Carranza, Villa, Zapata, and Lázaro Cárdenas,” she said.

She emphasized that “they never understood that the people rise with extraordinary leaders like Andrés Manuel López Obrador,” who initiated the so-called Fourth Transformation of Mexico's public life upon taking office in 2018.

The current leader, continuing that project, highlighted the new constitutional reforms approved over the past two years across various sectors, which, in her view, strengthen freedom, justice, democracy, independence, and sovereignty.

“In two years, we have reversed a good deal of the neoliberal reforms that betrayed our history and our people's struggle. Today we have a new Constitution, a fundamental law in line with the era of the Fourth Transformation,” she stated.

Regarding achievements in the capital city, she mentioned federal government programs for its residents, along with support for health, water, and mobility infrastructure.

“Always remember that there is no separation between the people and the government—united, the government and the people will never be defeated!” she expressed.
