President Sheinbaum is also monitoring Xiomara Castro’s complaints about a possible coup in Honduras.
On Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum made it clear that she does not agree with Maria Corina Machado, the far-right politician who is calling for foreign military intervention in Venezuela.

Sheinbaum said she cannot support political destabilization actions in any form because they run counter to the Mexican Constitution, which promotes self-determination of peoples and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
The Mexican president also clarified that while someone may seek international support to facilitate dialogue-based solutions to political disputes in a country, interventionism and foreign interference are not part of the historical stance of the Mexican state.
Sheinbaum also rejected a spurious comparison between Honduran President Xiomara Castro and far-right politician Machado, given that these two figures cannot be equated on the assumption that both are rejecting presidential elections in their respective countries.
“It is different. One of them is calling for foreign intervention. We, by conviction and by constitutional mandate, are against interventionism and interference,” Sheinbaum reiterated, emphasizing that she supports each people deciding its own destiny.
Previously, Sheinbaum had avoided speaking about Machado after she received the Nobel Peace Prize. When asked about that international recognition, Sheinbaum reiterated her position and Mexico’s willingness to continue defending the self-determination of peoples.
“The last time I said ‘no comment,’ and I continue to say ‘no comment’… Mexico will always defend the self-determination of peoples, noninvasion, noninterference and the decision of peoples to have the governments they decide to have,” Sheinbaum said conclusively.

Regarding the Honduran political situation, the Mexican president said her administration is monitoring the complaints made by President Castro about a possible coup in her country. Sheinbaum also confirmed that her Foreign Relations Secretary is maintaining diplomatic communication on the issue.
These remarks come after Castro publicly denounced the existence of maneuvers aimed at destabilizing her administration following the Nov. 30 presidential elections, in which interference by U.S. President Donald Trump evidently favored one of the right-wing candidates.
On Monday, Castro said intelligence reports had determined that former President Juan Orlando Hernandez — a convicted drug trafficker sentenced to prison by a U.S. court but pardoned by Trump — was planning to return to Honduras to proclaim the winning candidate of the 2025 presidential elections.
“An aggression is underway aimed at breaking the constitutional and democratic order through a coup against my government,” the Honduran leader said, at a time when there is still no final official declaration of the election results.
