- February 18, 2022

The US legislator assured that the current climate faced by communicators and politicians in Mexico “is the deadliest in history.”

AMLO considered that the conservatives in Mexico are traitors to the country, so it is not surprising that they have sympathy with Ted Cruz.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized this Friday the Mexican conservatives who support the vision of the Republican senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, who sees the country submerged in chaos due to violence.

In a press conference from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the federal president said he was proud that a legislator of the stature of Cruz criticized his government project since it is focused on serving the most vulnerable in the country and not the elites.

“It is natural that this senator from Texas, who does not agree with us, expresses himself as he did, he is against the policy that we are carrying out in favor of the people of Mexico and the defense of Mexicans who live and work honestly. in the United States, it is to be expected.

“The Mexican conservatives, who have historically stood out for being traitors to the country, they are happy and support these statements, but it is normal for this to happen because I have been saying it, half measures, simulation, are no longer allowed,” he said. the federal president.

Yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz warned the Joe Biden administration that the Mexican government is abusing its power, putting the rule of law and the relationship between the two governments at risk.

“I am deeply concerned about the deepening of civil unrest in Mexico, and the collapse of civil society. The breakdown of the rule of law on our southern border poses serious challenges and dangers for the national security of the United States on issues ranging from the fight against drug trafficking to illegal migration,” Cruz said yesterday while participating in the Foreign Relations Committee of the US Senate.

“(López Obrador) seems to be allowing himself to abuse power, regardless of the effect on Mexico or on relations between the US and Mexico,” he considered.
