During the morning conference this Friday, April 8, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador assured that the passage of the Electricity Industry Law does not contradict or violate any trade agreement between Mexico and the United States. In addition, he said that he was respectful of the statements made by US Ambassador Ken Salazar after he expressed his concern about the legal consequences that could be generate.
“He says that there may be actions of a legal nature, because we too would do the same because we are an independent, free country. There is no violation of any treaty. We are very respectful of freedom of expression, even in excess. We prefer that, that everyone can demonstrate and express themselves,” said the president.
The Morenoist also assured that differences in the perception of regulations do not cause any problems in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. However, he criticized the neighboring government's lack of action on the approval of immigration reform, a topic he used as an example to point out that even so, the López Obrador administration does not exert pressure on the foreign agenda.
“I am not going to go and tell Biden why he is not honoring his commitment to regularize migrant countrymen. I'm not going to be going to international organizations. He already proposed it, but he hasn't complied with it. We will continue to be respectful, we have a very good relationship with Ken Salazar.
“I understand, there are pressures between themselves. In the United States there is a custom that deputies, senators, politicians receive money from corporate corporations. So a legislator, an official in the United States, has to line up. If there is a company that feels affected, it goes to the state department, that is its policy,” said the president.
