"It is very difficult for the other right to insert itself in our country": Sheinbaum
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
MEXICO CITY – President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Wednesday that it is "very difficult" for the right to "insert itself" into the presidency of Mexico, but she urged attention to what is happening in other places like Colombia, after leftist candidate Iván Cepeda acknowledged his defeat to far-right Abelardo de la Espriella. "Of course, we must always be attentive to what happens elsewhere, work hard to inform, not disappoint, and continue to fulfill our commitments... It is very difficult for the other right to insert itself in our country," the president declared during her daily press conference when asked about the loss of power of progressivism in Latin America. Despite the international context and the electoral outcome in Colombia, Sheinbaum asserted that a "unique phenomenon" occurred in Mexico with the rise of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), a party founded by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024). In this regard, she defended the reclamation of national history by the political movement she is part of, self-described as the Fourth Transformation, especially regarding the "indigenous cultures" and the "great civilizations" of the country. "That is why we can never betray. Honesty must be our banner. We must be honest and never lie to the people," the president emphasized. As commitments of her government, Sheinbaum reaffirmed her intention to continue with the "transformation program" aimed at generating and redistributing wealth among the entire population. "But the Mexican phenomenon is unique. We must take care of it, preserve it, and continue with the revolution of consciousness," concluded the head of state.
