Mexico City. “No to intervention,” declared Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in response to the escalating tensions in Venezuela following the threat from US President Donald Trump, who yesterday declared the government of Nicolás Maduro a “foreign terrorist organization.”
The Mexican president criticized the United Nations (UN) for its “absence” in the face of the risk of Washington’s intervention in the South American nation, and called on the international organization to assume its role in preventing conflict and bloodshed.
Beyond the Maduro regime, she said, the position of any Mexican president should be non-intervention, the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and the self-determination of peoples.
This morning, in her press conference at the National Palace, the head of the Executive Branch opened with a message regarding the risk: “Because of President Trump’s declaration and the situation in Venezuela, we reiterate Mexico’s position, in accordance with the Constitution, of non-intervention or foreign interference, self-determination of peoples and peaceful resolution of disputes.”
She urged that any international controversy or dispute be resolved through dialogue, peace, and the principle of non-intervention.
“This is our position, based on conviction and the Constitution. It must be the position of any Mexican president, regardless of the opinions of the Venezuelan regime and the Maduro presidency. Beyond that, the position must be no to intervention, no to foreign interference, and for the peaceful resolution of conflicts.”
“And a call for the United Nations to assume its role has not been seen. It must assume its role to prevent any bloodshed and always seek peaceful solutions to conflicts. That is our position.”

Mexico’s much-touted 40 hour workweek reform does not bring about a real reduction in the working day; on the contrary, it will become a more effective tool of exploitation and is an initiative designed for the benefit of employers and against the dignity of workers.
