Sheinbaum Defends Sovereignty / Development Hub in Zinapecuaro

Sheinbaum Defends Sovereignty. President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to the message she delivered on Feb. 5, emphasizing that “Mexico is not for sale.” She highlighted that her speech was rooted in the historical values that have shaped the nation and continue to guide the transformation of public life today.

“It was a deeply republican address, reflecting the long-standing struggle of the Mexican people for sovereignty, freedom, and democracy. These principles have built our nation and remain central to the Fourth Transformation of public life. While some seek foreign support due to lacking popular backing, history shows they are consistently defeated by the Mexican people.”
