[00:00:19] And we continue talking about the relationship between Mexico and
[00:00:24] this, and what Peru, good news for the region where Latin America bets on diplomatic bridges
[00:00:27] and peace. It is worth remembering that in
[00:00:30] December 2022, when the Peruvian Congress
[00:00:35] David Kerzenovic was the first decided on the
[00:00:37] with adequate quality and removal of Pedro Castillo, several presidents took a stand on the matter, including
[00:00:41] Gustavo Petro, Luis Arce, Alberto Fernández, Nicolás
[00:00:45] Maduro, Díaz Canel, and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but above all
[00:00:49] Andrés Manuel López Obrador sought to grant political asylum to
[00:00:52] his family. This generated tensions. Once José
[00:00:56] Yeri became president of Peru, he also mentioned
[00:01:00] the hostility or unfriendly actions that existed on the part
[00:01:03] of Mexico, not only due to the political positions
[00:01:07] taken in defense of Pedro Castillo's government, but
[00:01:10] also due to the political asylum granted to Betssy Chávez. A few
[00:01:14] weeks ago, it is worth remembering that the UN determined that
[00:01:18] these detentions were arbitrary, meaning Mexico and its
[00:01:21] allied countries were always right. Today, the
[00:01:25] president mentions how relations between Mexico
[00:01:29] and Peru were broken and, above all, the impediment to
[00:01:33] Betssy Chávez's asylum after 200 days of waiting, where at
[00:01:36] this moment, in a few hours, she will be arriving in our country. Let's
[00:01:39] listen.
[00:01:42] Well, in this case, it is a good message, obviously,
[00:01:46] in this case, uh, it was
[00:01:50] the previous government of Peru that had decided to break relations with
[00:01:54] Mexico, due to a position that
[00:01:56] we expressed, uh, for the
[00:02:00] release of President
[00:02:04] Castillo, but also
[00:02:08] so I met with uh, the one who was one of his
[00:02:12] secretaries, the foreign minister
[00:02:14] of Peru at that time,
[00:02:17] asked for political asylum in Mexico and went to the
[00:02:21] Mexican embassy
[00:02:23] and was not allowed to leave for Mexico,
[00:02:27] despite the fact that all the...
[00:02:30] international treaties allow her departure. Mexico
[00:02:34] at all times followed the international criteria
[00:02:38] and norms and
[00:02:41] treaties.
[00:02:43] On their part, they decided to break relations.
[00:02:46] We protected Betsy Chávez,
[00:02:50] we asked Brazil at the time to take charge of the
[00:02:53] Senasica, which is an institution of embassy, she remained in the embassy
[00:02:56] all this time and now that... the president
[00:03:00] Fujimori is
[00:03:03] her initiative to call
[00:03:06] Mexico, she calls
[00:03:10] the foreign minister, she personally tells him
[00:03:13] topic also present at that she wants to resolve the Betsy Chávez issue
[00:03:18] was mentioned by the and that she is willing to grant the safe conduct when she becomes president.
[00:03:22] From there, a communication process with them begins
[00:03:25] until today, I understand that she has already landed.
[00:03:28] 7:43 at 7:43 she landed, she
[00:03:32] is already in Mexico. At all times, Roberto
[00:03:35] Velazco told her that we had a position on President
[00:03:39] Castillo. She said that she
[00:03:42] understood, that he was undergoing
[00:03:45] a judicial process in Peru, but that
[00:03:49] it was her desire to reestablish relations with
[00:03:51] Mexico.
[00:03:54] Mexico is a friend of all countries in the world, Mexico
[00:03:58] seeks to maintain good diplomatic relations with all
[00:04:01] countries in the world. Today, the president highlights the good
[00:04:05] relationship that our country has with all
[00:04:09] countries in the region, with Europe, also with Africa,
[00:04:13] with Asia, she highlights cases of solidarity
[00:04:16] that our country has shown, for example, with humanitarian aid that
[00:04:19] it sends to Cuba, with the support that Venezuela
[00:04:23] has needed, with the earthquakes it recently suffered, with the
[00:04:26] fires in Canada, with the fires in the United States.
[00:04:30] Mexico always maintains good diplomatic relations
[00:04:34] and if support is needed, help from Mexican hands,
[00:04:37] Mexico is always willing. Yes,
[00:04:40] the framework of the constitution and of course, there are countries that have disrespected our country, that
[00:04:44] have committed grievances, for example, when Daniel
[00:04:47] Novoa, the current president of Ecuador,
[00:04:56] subordination, defense of for himself. Let's move made the decision that Ecuadorian police would enter the Mexican embassy in Quito,
[00:04:58] violating international treaties,
[00:05:01] disrespecting, humiliating the Mexican
[00:05:05] diplomatic corps in the embassy, well, in that
[00:05:08] case, well, Mexico tries to maintain
[00:05:11] dialogue, but it remains firm, Mexico
[00:05:15] must be respected and Mexico is a friend to all peoples of the
[00:05:19] world, listen to this,
[00:05:22] beyond the political orientation of
[00:05:25] governments, it is important that Mexico has
[00:05:28] diplomatic relations with the world. In the
[00:05:32] case of Ecuador, we don't have them because they
[00:05:35] invaded the Mexican embassy in Ecuador, it's
[00:05:38] something completely different, there is an
[00:05:41] offense. our sovereignty.
[00:05:44] But
[00:05:47] in other cases, we always seek the best
[00:05:50] friendly relations with all peoples of the world, because
[00:05:54] that is Mexico's foreign policy, which is established in the
[00:05:58] constitution, and at the same time we defend the self-determination
[00:06:01] of peoples, as is the case of Cuba,
[00:06:05] whose self-determination we will always defend,
[00:06:08] non-intervention, and the
[00:06:11] solution for any controversy, as established
[00:06:15] in our constitution, and from Mexico, humanitarian
[00:06:18] aid to the whole world, as we have
[00:06:22] done historically, we recently did it with the
[00:06:25] fires in Canada, and we continue to do so.
[00:06:29] Recently, we also sent two other ships to
[00:06:32] Venezuela for the people who experienced
[00:06:36] this terrible earthquake. A ship is also
[00:06:40] arriving or a ship is leaving for humanitarian
[00:06:43] aid, because Mexico is like
[00:06:46] that, the Mexican people are generous,
[00:06:49] generosity is Mexico's
[00:06:52] hallmark.
[00:06:55] And Mexico's leadership in Latin America has not been
[00:06:58] marked by impositions, but by the solidarity it has
[00:07:01] shown to allied and friendly countries. Above
[00:07:05] all, this has marked the historical diplomatic
[00:07:08] path, that is, for those commentators,
[00:07:12] before the right and fascism who say that President Claudia
[00:07:16] Sheinbaum helps other countries more than ours, which is
[00:07:20] a lie, we remind you what happened in Spain with
[00:07:23] 25,000 Republican intellectuals, among them Luis
[00:07:26] Buñuel, who arrived during the Civil War in the 1930s, or
[00:07:30] as was the case of Evo Morales in 2019, or as is
[00:07:34] the case of Ecuador, where former President Jorge
[00:07:37] Glass also came to our country, Chile,
[00:07:41] Argentina, where military dictatorships led Mexico to
[00:07:44] be an open space in the 1970s
[00:07:48] and 80s, in Central America,
[00:07:51] Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, is the case of the
[00:07:54] historical exiles from Cuba or in the case of the Soviet Union
[00:07:58] in the 1930s, where even revolutionaries like
[00:08:02] Leon Trotsky came to our country, that is, the diplomatic
[00:08:06] path and the role that Mexico has played is historical and
[00:08:09] fundamental to continue building bridges around
[00:08:13] the world, and above all, it is a way in which our sovereignty is defended
[00:08:17] with dignity and solidarity. There is the good news,
[00:08:20] Mexico and Peru resume diplomatic relations. Another
[00:08:26] this Friday's morning conference in Palacio Nacional was the
[00:08:30] Ayotzinapa case. Why? Surely you already know,
[00:08:33] because it is a headline on radio and television
[00:08:36] and also on the front pages of most national newspapers.
[00:08:40] The former PRD governor of
[00:08:43] Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre Rivero, was arrested. Aguirre Rivero
[00:08:47] was governor when the tragic Ayotzinapa
[00:08:50] case occurred, the tragic night, the
[00:08:53] ill-fated night of Iguala, where 43
[00:08:57] Ayotzinapa students were forcibly disappeared.
[00:09:01] He was arrested because the investigations of the Attorney
[00:09:04] General of the Republic point to the fact that the
[00:09:07] governor in charge concealed
[00:09:10] evidence of this case,
[00:09:13] manipulated the investigation.
[00:09:16] Interviews with parents of the students celebrate the
[00:09:19] arrest of the former journalist governor.
[00:09:22] They hope that he can provide
[00:09:26] clues to reach the truth of what happened
[00:09:29] in that case. Today, President Claudia Sheinbaum highlights the
[00:09:33] progress of the investigation, she recalled that there are three new lines of
[00:09:37] investigation, remembering that it is not only the work of the prosecutor's office
[00:09:40] but also the work of the Undersecretariat of Human Rights,
[00:09:44] also the work of the special commission for
[00:09:48] the case, and now, now scientific
[00:09:51] evidence is sought,
[00:09:54] and not the declaration obtained under torture. You will recall that
[00:09:58] when the historical truth was obtained, the
[00:10:01] prosecutor's office, the then attorney general Murillo Karam
[00:10:05] obtained, well, accounts,
[00:10:07] testimonies with torture, people who were
[00:10:11] involved in the case who were tortured
[00:10:14] and then released precisely because it was obtained under
[00:10:18] torture. Now scientific evidence is sought, and
[00:10:22] after months of investigation, it was found that the former
[00:10:26] Ángel Aguirre Rivero does have responsibility.
[00:10:30] This is what President Sheinbaum said
[00:10:33] this morning. I would not like to give
[00:10:36] details, uh, because it is part of a process and
[00:10:39] it is also the responsibility of the Attorney General of the
[00:10:42] Republic. What I can say is that the Attorney
[00:10:45] General of the Republic and the support they have
[00:10:48] received in the analysis
[00:10:52] of intelligence and investigation.
[00:10:55] with new ways of
[00:10:57] investigating,
[00:11:00] it can be the same evidence, but now
[00:11:03] deepening
[00:11:05] uh, through different mechanisms, many of them scientific
[00:11:09] analysis,
[00:11:11] allow us to continue seeking justice.
[00:11:15] So this detention has to
[00:11:19] do with work that the prosecutor's office has been doing
[00:11:22] for many months, and they will have to continue
[00:11:25] providing the evidence for this detention, why it
[00:11:29] happened, under what circumstances.
[00:11:32] There are investigation files that contain
[00:11:36] testimonies, some of which were made
[00:11:39] when that false historical
[00:11:42] truth was given, let's say, and some
[00:11:46] later, uh,
[00:11:49] when President López
[00:11:52] Obrador arrived. So all those files, well,
[00:11:55] are present.
[00:11:59] There are many
[00:12:02] telephone call records from that night and later
[00:12:05] that the new prosecutor did was
[00:12:08] to review
[00:12:11] in more detail and with other investigation
[00:12:14] tools these telephone calls and their
[00:12:17] links between people. At the
[00:12:21] same time, the case of one of the buses that stops at
[00:12:25] the palace of justice
[00:12:27] and the recording of that moment. There are several
[00:12:31] lines of investigation that the prosecutor's office is following. More
[00:12:35] people have been arrested, some of whom had never
[00:12:38] appeared as possible culprits.
[00:12:41] In short, there are different lines of
[00:12:44] investigation, but the ultimate goal is to know the
[00:12:47] truth, to do justice and to find the
[00:12:51] young people, which is the commitment we made to the mothers and fathers.
[00:12:58] The Ayotzinapa case is not only about seeking
[00:13:01] justice for the families who, by the way, demanded
[00:13:05] the arrest of former governor Ángel
[00:13:08] N, now detained, it is also
[00:13:11] justice for our country, for the youth of today,
[00:13:14] of the past and of those to come, for the young
[00:13:18] students, for all those Mexicans who
[00:13:21] took to the streets to protest for the disappeared
[00:13:25] who occurred during the government of Enrique Peña Nieto, for the
[00:13:28] 43 who are still missing and so that their families can
[00:13:32] find peace, that is why it is important to talk about how technology
[00:13:35] also becomes a form of social justice,
[00:13:39] and when we talk about technology, we are talking about geospatial
[00:13:43] analysis and calls that did not exist at the time, where
[00:13:46] an investigation of the calls, messages and
[00:13:49] metadata of the students on the night of
[00:13:52] September 26, 2014 was carried out.
[00:13:55] Unalterable digital traceability, use of phone records,
[00:13:59] communication antennas to locate routes and movements
[00:14:02] of municipal police, commanders, avoiding lies that
[00:14:06] may exist in statements and confirming
[00:14:09] them with the statements made at the time. Advanced forensic
[00:14:13] software with tools for recovering and
[00:14:17] processing digital information to
[00:14:19] connect networks of complicity.
[00:14:22] This is also put into service not
[00:14:25] only for the Ayotzinapa case, but as technology
[00:14:28] seeks to be a tool for disappeared
[00:14:31] people in our country, Miguel. Precisely
[00:14:35] the cross-referencing of this scientifically obtained evidence,
[00:14:39] the cross-referencing of this scientific evidence, with the testimonies
[00:14:42] is what has allowed the recent capture, detention of
[00:14:46] more than 10 people in President Sheinbaum's government,
[00:14:49] 10 people involved in the Ayotzinapa case
[00:14:52] and the arrest of the former journalist governor.
[00:14:55] It represents that there are no untouchables in this
[00:14:59] case, yes, we must remember Murillo Karam, who was president during Enrique
[00:15:03] Peña Nieto's term. Well, it is a demand that the parents
[00:15:06] and Mexican society have. In addition,
[00:15:09] with the cross-referencing of this scientific evidence, the owners
[00:15:12] of an irregular funeral home in Iguala, which was
[00:15:16] used for the alteration of
[00:15:19] remains and evidence, manipulation
[00:15:21] of evidence, has been arrested, in many cases, in addition
[00:15:25] to the capture of a former judge from Iguala who is
[00:15:28] involved in the concealment, in the
[00:15:30] alteration of the records in the Ayotzinapa case,
[00:15:34] the president reiterated, assured,
[00:15:38] that she will do everything in her power during
[00:15:42] her administration to ensure that justice
[00:15:45] for the parents of Ayotzinapa finally arrives. Listen,
[00:15:47] I will put
[00:15:51] all my effort, all my energy, all my
[00:15:55] will so that it will be so.
[00:15:58] The parents know
[00:16:01] is very
[00:16:04] promising about the new investigations
[00:16:08] that are being carried out is that
[00:16:11] at least there is more information than was
[00:16:14] available until September 2024
[00:16:16] that allows progress.
[00:16:19] There
[00:16:23] is something that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:16:26] is doing very well, and that is defending the
[00:16:29] interests of Mexicans when there are conflicts,
[00:16:32] international allegations by companies. We saw
[00:16:36] it recently in the Vulcan case, which lost almost,
[00:16:40] almost all of its lawsuit, it asked Mexico for a fortune,
[00:16:43] for asking Mexico, the Mexican government asked Vulcan not
[00:16:47] to destroy the flora and fauna of the region
[00:16:51] there in Quintana Roo. Well, Vulcan said, how can you not allow
[00:16:54] me to destroy nature, if I was given permits to exploit
[00:16:58] the materials in this area? Well, Mexico, Mexico
[00:17:02] won, Vulcan lost almost everything.
[00:17:05] And another international case is one that
[00:17:09] has to do with Ricardo Salinas, I explain,
[00:17:12] known in our country as the great tax
[00:17:16] evader and also known on social networks
[00:17:20] as Trump's lapdog, why? Because let's not forget that Ricardo Salinas
[00:17:23] Pliego is raising his hand, seeking
[00:17:27] to be the candidate of the right and conservatism for the next
[00:17:30] presidential election. Of course, sympathizing a lot
[00:17:34] with Donald Trump, paying money for his parties.
[00:17:37] Looking to see if he's invited to the big international
[00:17:40] meetings, well, that's why he earned that nickname
[00:17:44] as Trump's lapdog. Well, the companies, Ricardo Salinas
[00:17:48] Pliego's lawyers, were looking to
[00:17:51] get rid of debts he has abroad, in
[00:17:55] the United States. Well, recently an
[00:17:58] international arbitration favored Mexico, in
[00:18:02] the case of TV Azteca's creditors in the United
[00:18:05] States. He considered that the resolution
[00:18:09] derived from the work of the foreign ministry was quite
[00:18:12] good, which also worked on the Vulcan case.
[00:18:15] How much money are we talking about that
[00:18:19] Mexico saved? Saved, let's see the
[00:18:22] details.
[00:18:26] This team that works in the Ministry of Economy
[00:18:28] uh, related to
[00:18:32] uh, legal work in international
[00:18:35] tribunals is very good. The truth
[00:18:39] is, we already talked about the case of Vulcan, of
[00:18:42] Calica, uh, which was a very good
[00:18:46] resolution in
[00:18:49] the sense that there could have been a problem with NAFTA, but it
[00:18:53] was neither the amounts nor what
[00:18:56] company. We can give more details later
[00:18:59] because for now there is still a period of
[00:19:02] a few days to be able
[00:19:05] to give more information.
[00:19:08] In this case it was the
[00:19:11] same,
[00:19:13] because there
[00:19:16] was
[00:19:20] a trial, let's say, in
[00:19:24] which they wanted the
[00:19:27] Mexican state to be involved in this
[00:19:29] issue,
[00:19:31] and finally they said: no, the Mexican state has nothing to do with it, in a
[00:19:35] nutshell. So this person... well, he
[00:19:38] still has a trial there, but we have nothing
[00:19:42] to do with that.
[00:19:45] And Trump's lapdog is not only a subordinate of Donald
[00:19:49] Trump, he is also a criminal in other countries, it is the case of the
[00:19:53] Southern District Court of New York which has determined his
[00:19:56] debt of 630 million dollars. It is the
[00:20:00] case of precisely the International Court of the World
[00:20:04] Bank that determines the debt of 219 million
[00:20:07] dollars and the list goes on. It happens in the case of the United Kingdom where
[00:20:11] he has also been classified as serious
[00:20:14] abuse for espionage, even among other
[00:20:17] businessmen or the case of AT&T, that is,
[00:20:21] he wants to be president, but he does not pay taxes, he has international
[00:20:25] problems and above all he cannot even stand up
[00:20:30] on.
[00:20:30] sigue.
[00:20:36] To everything.
[00:20:42] And today, the Secretary of Health, David
[00:20:46] Kashenovich, was present at the National Palace, because you
[00:20:49] know that recently, in some media and social networks,
[00:20:53] our country was unfairly accused, without proof,
[00:20:57] of causing explosive diarrhea
[00:21:00] in the United States. It turns out that, yes, in the United States
[00:21:04] they have had a problem that some people have gone to health
[00:21:07] centers due to stomach infection.
[00:21:10] Some politicians used this case
[00:21:13] to blame a lettuce from Mexico
[00:21:17] for causing this explosive diarrhea
[00:21:20] in some Americans. Today, Jorge
[00:21:25] to talk about cyclosporiasis,
[00:21:28] a bacterium that is present in
[00:21:32] countries of the northern hemisphere, worldwide,
[00:21:35] Mexico is no exception. David
[00:21:38] Kersenovic explained that studies have been carried out and
[00:21:41] it is ruled out that there is a problem with cyclosporiasis
[00:21:45] in our country at this time, listen.
[00:21:48] This
[00:21:51] is an intestinal infection caused, as
[00:21:54] I told you, by a parasite. It is
[00:21:57] treatable, no deaths have been
[00:22:00] reported anywhere. It is therefore
[00:22:03] of very low
[00:22:07] mortality. The characteristic
[00:22:09] is that it starts 2 to 14 days
[00:22:13] after consuming contaminated food or
[00:22:16] water, and it manifests as a very
[00:22:20] explosive diarrhea that is controlled
[00:22:23] after 48 to 72 hours,
[00:22:26] and in some cases it requires
[00:22:30] hospitalization to hydrate the
[00:22:33] person, especially when they have nausea
[00:22:36] or vomiting. There are different types of
[00:22:40] cyclospora, but only one known as
[00:22:43] cayetanensis affects humans,
[00:22:46] and it is the parasite that is present worldwide.
[00:22:50] It occurs mainly between May
[00:22:53] and August annually, in almost all
[00:22:57] countries, and it does not appear in
[00:23:00] common stool tests, but
[00:23:03] requires, as was the case with COVID, molecular
[00:23:06] PCR tests to detect this
[00:23:10] infection. What happens in Mexico? We have cases
[00:23:13] annually, however, they are very
[00:23:17] few. In Mexico, we have had 33 confirmed
[00:23:20] cases as of July
[00:23:24] 31st, and if we take into
[00:23:27] account our population, this has an incidence
[00:23:31] of 0.000
[00:23:33] 2% of the
[00:23:37] population and it repeats annually.
[00:23:40] There is treatment and no one
[00:23:44] has died.
[00:23:45] He specifies
[00:23:49] that cyclosporiasis is an infection
[00:23:52] caused by a parasite, an infection caused
[00:23:55] by a parasite, cyclosporiasis, and so far, well, it is
[00:23:59] ruled out that there is an alert in our country, although it is the
[00:24:03] season, from May to August is when cases
[00:24:06] of cyclosporiasis are presented, Harlin,
[00:24:10] that's right, and this morning recommendations were given that you
[00:24:13] can do at home to prevent this disease,
[00:24:17] which at the time is to wash fruits, vegetables with
[00:24:21] clean and potable water before consuming
[00:24:24] or cooking them, wash your hands with soap and water for
[00:24:28] 20 seconds before preparing food, before eating
[00:24:31] and after using the bathroom, consume potable
[00:24:35] or boiled water, this is also spoken
[00:24:38] fundamentally not only for cyclosporiasis
[00:24:42] but for all diseases, we must have hygiene at home.
[00:24:46] Also today, the head of Cofepris, Víctor Borja,
[00:24:49] reported that since 2020
[00:24:51] Cofepris has received 20 notifications of outbreaks, some
[00:24:55] of them accompanied by Senasica and Cofepris and
[00:24:59] the FDA say they make visits to companies to ensure that
[00:25:03] export processes are carried out with adequate
[00:25:06] quality, which is done in a preventive manner and it is worth
[00:25:10] understanding that Cofepris is one of the few
[00:25:13] international certifications that exist in Latin
[00:25:16] America. This also of relevance. The
[00:25:20] last report we received
[00:25:21] was about salmonellosis
[00:25:25] possibly
[00:25:31] associated with chilies of Mexican origin, serrano
[00:25:34] chilies, this was reported by the
[00:25:36] FDA on July
[00:25:39] 31st. This salmonella outbreak, which had not
[00:25:42] yet been identified, as to who was
[00:25:45] the distributor, on August
[00:25:48] 5th we were notified that the
[00:25:51] distributor could be a packing plant located in Nuevo León.
[00:25:54] We have already seen who the producers are
[00:25:58] that send these chilies. They are from Scuinapa
[00:26:01] and we are in the process of investigation. Samples of the chilies
[00:26:04] were already taken to investigate if
[00:26:08] this can be related to salmonellosis, the outbreak in
[00:26:11] the United States. So we continue these investigation
[00:26:15] processes that correspond to
[00:26:18] cooperation between Mexico and the United States. Since
[00:26:21] 2020, we have received about 17
[00:26:24] notifications of outbreaks. In some of them
[00:26:26] accompanied by FDA, Senasica, and
[00:26:30] Coffepris, we visit the companies
[00:26:33] to ensure that these export processes
[00:26:36] are carried out
[00:26:40] what is done is
[00:26:41] preventively.
[00:26:45] This week, the United States, US authorities
[00:26:48] decided to suspend the import of Mexican
[00:26:52] avocado into their country. This,
[00:26:55] according to some US authorities, is due to
[00:26:58] the lack of security that inspectors from
[00:27:02] the United States may have in Michoacán.
[00:27:05] President Claudia Sheinbaum met with avocado producers
[00:27:09] to discuss this issue. She explained that the
[00:27:12] avocado growers asked for greater security in the
[00:27:15] entity. The president explained that security will be reinforced.
[00:27:18] She also stated that avocado growers asked
[00:27:22] to medically certify avocados so that in the United
[00:27:26] States they have security of the product that is brought to
[00:27:29] the American union. What else did the avocado growers ask
[00:27:33] for, what else was said, the president explained it this
[00:27:34] morning.
[00:27:37] Today there is a meeting with the US Embassy. We are
[00:27:41] working with the entire association of
[00:27:44] producers to strengthen
[00:27:47] security. I mentioned it yesterday,
[00:27:51] the Uruapan area
[00:27:53] eh since we defined the Michoacán
[00:27:56] plan, insecurity has
[00:27:59] decreased, but in another area now from other
[00:28:02] municipalities,
[00:28:05] eh, they express insecurity issues,
[00:28:10] them, with the association, several producers came,
[00:28:14] they asked us for support on different issues and we are
[00:28:18] supporting them. Look, just as they talked about sanitation, the
[00:28:21] export of avocado has
[00:28:24] many characteristics to be able to be done,
[00:28:27] a very important one is that the quality of the avocado is guaranteed,
[00:28:31] so they did not ask for some schemes to strengthen that
[00:28:35] certification, and with the United States what we told them, let's see,
[00:28:38] is there any issue for the US inspectors who
[00:28:42] have to review this certification in
[00:28:45] Michoacán, in what places, they are given all the support so that they can do
[00:28:49] their work safely, and if they cannot
[00:28:52] delegate that work to
[00:28:56] the Ministry of Agriculture that would develop it
[00:28:59] in that case. So,
[00:29:03] the objective of today's meeting is that all of that be resolved and
[00:29:06] that the export can
[00:29:08] already be liberated.
[00:29:11] And it is worth remembering what the role of Mexican
[00:29:15] agriculture is in the neighboring country of the United States, not only
[00:29:18] speaking of avocado, where 90% of
[00:29:22] avocado consumption comes from our country, but also of
[00:29:26] livestock, other fruits and other vegetables, but
[00:29:29] let's talk about avocado specifically because
[00:29:32] the United States consumes 1.1 million
[00:29:35] tons of avocado per year, being the country
[00:29:39] with the highest avocado consumption in our
[00:29:41] country. This also affects commercialization
[00:29:45] in restaurants, the increase in the
[00:29:48] price of dishes at the time, and therefore
[00:29:51] also affects the US economy.
[00:29:55] Speaking of the Mexico-US relationship, there is
[00:29:58] talk about coordination with the US Southern Command,
[00:30:02] due to the fact that the Donald Trump administration has
[00:30:06] attributed new powers to the Southern Command. The president mentions that
[00:30:09] historically Mexico has coordinated with the Northern
[00:30:13] Command, however, the Southern Command
[00:30:16] carries out operations in Central
[00:30:19] and South America, and now also in our country. She mentions
[00:30:22] always under Mexican sovereignty,
[00:30:25] coordination without subordination. Let's
[00:30:27] listen.
[00:30:30] Normally in Mexico, we worked with the Northern
[00:30:33] Command in the collaboration and coordination that
[00:30:37] exists with the US armed forces within
[00:30:42] laws. Now the United States has given more
[00:30:46] powers to the Southern Command. So, what
[00:30:49] needs to be coordinated, well, we will have to
[00:30:52] coordinate. You know what our four principles are:
[00:30:55] Coordination without
[00:30:58] sovereignty.
