The decision escalated to the refusal to engage in a dialogue requested by the U.S. diplomat, Ken Salazar, after speaking of the risks involved in the popular election of judges, magistrates and ministers, included in the reform of the Judiciary.

MEXICO CITY (apro).- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador decreed a pause in the dialogue with the embassies of the United States and Canada in Mexico until they clarify that there must be respect in the decisions that correspond to Mexicans because it is in their Constitution. 

The decision followed the refusal to engage in a dialogue requested by the U.S. diplomat, Ken Salazar, after talking about the risks involved in the popular election of judges, magistrates and ministers, included in the reform of the Judicial Power. 

“That there be a clarification from them, however, that they express that in the matter of the Constitution of our government, in the application of our democracy, in the decisions taken by our legitimately constituted legal government, they have to be respectful”, he indicated.

He clarified that the relationship with both countries continues and that the pause only applies at embassy level, in spite of the fact that since previous days he assured that “it is not Ken Salazar”, but that the U.S. State Department is behind it. 

The relationship with Salazar “is still good, but it is in pause since he declared that. Pausing means that we are going to give ourselves our time, because hopefully the State Department, because it is not him either, what a coincidence that at the same time that they make a statement in Mexico through the embassy, the Canadians do it, which is also a shame for the government of Canada, it seems like an associated state, together”.

He considered that the attitude of the officials of both countries is because “they would like to interfere in matters that only correspond to Mexicans. It is from the State Department, the letter is from him (Ken Salazar), the relationship continues, but hopefully there is a ratification from them that they are going to respect Mexico’s independence, the sovereignty of our country, as long as there is not that and they continue with that policy, there is a pause with the embassies”. 

Specifically, he said that also with Canada, “yes, of course they have to learn to respect Mexico’s sovereignty, it is not just any old thing. We are not going to give them advice there, not to say what is right and what is wrong. We want them to be respected and for there to be a reciprocal relationship in terms of respect”. 

Again, he clarified that the pause is in the dialogue with Ambassador Salazar and not with the Biden administration because “it is only that they understand that it was imprudent to manifest themselves as they did”. 

Of the ambassador he recognized that “he is looking for us to talk. Imagine that he comes here -and I stress this is not a personal matter- he comes here, he is received by the President of Mexico, he is not Andrés Manuel, it is the investiture and suddenly he comes out to say ‘I came to give you my opinion that the people of Mexico should not elect judges, magistrates, ministers because that is undemocratic, it complicates things even more’, what a shame, now, as the philosopher would say: ‘what a necessity’, we better wait for time to pass”. 

“If there is no respect, as long as I am here, we will not allow any violation of our sovereignty. I am going to leave, there are already 30 days left, but as long as I am here I cannot allow our Constitution to be violated,” he added. 

President López Obrador considered that President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum will maintain this position because “any government has to defend the sovereignty of its people, besides, these are our things. What is more, the president-elect already said it and she said it well: ‘Dialogue yes, but there are things that only concern our country”.

If we continue to allow foreigners to give their opinion on Mexican law processes, said the president, it is like allowing officials from any other country to do the same. 

At the beginning of these statements, the President said: “How can we allow the ambassador -with all due respect, this is not a matter of quarrel or enmity-, to give his opinion that what we are doing is wrong, but we are not going to tell him to leave the country, no, but we do have to read the Constitution to him, which is like reading him the card”.
