Mexico City.- In the midst of the investigation against military commanders for the death of six migrants in Chiapas, President Claudia Sheinbaum assured that she will never order the Armed Forces to violate human rights.
When presiding over the Salutation Ceremony of the Armed Forces in Campo Marte, the federal President assured that due to her deep respect for the institution, she will never issue an order that violates the constitutional order.
“As I have said on other occasions: rest assured that our humanist origins, due to the deep respect I have for our Armed Forces, will never issue any order that violates the constitutional order or the human rights of the people of Mexico,” he assured. In his morning conference, Sheinbaum reported that the Attorney General’s Office will investigate military commanders for the death of six migrants in Chiapas, after military personnel opened fire on the van in which they were traveling.
Sheinbaum assured that in the country there are no violations of human rights, but rather freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
The Defense Secretariat and the Navy, he recalled, have a popular origin that has continued to this day, which is a “fortune” for Mexico. The National Guard, he said, was created by the previous Administration to protect the people and build peace and security. Given this, he rejected that the transfer of the National Guard to the Sedena is militarization. “For those who criticize, that this is militarization is totally false. In our country there is no state of exception, there are no violations of human rights, what there is is more democracy, more freedoms and the rule of law,” he said. The President highlighted that the Armed Forces have a pacifist tradition, which means that they have always obeyed civil command, as established by the Magna Carta. “The Mexican Armed Forces proudly have a civil tradition, this means that honorably and legally, the Armed Forces have always obeyed the civil command, as established by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States,” he expressed. Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed that the Armed Forces will continue to accompany the people of Mexico in fundamental tasks, such as the defense of the integrity, independence, sovereignty of the nation, internal security and, in a new task, public security. The President announced that she will also continue to call on them to continue supporting the construction of large strategic projects, such as the railway projects that are part of her Government program. “Rest assured that we will make Mexico an even more prosperous, fair and egalitarian country, and we will continue to have the dignity and pride of being Mexican men and women. I will continue calling on you to continue supporting the construction of large strategic projects, such as the passenger trains and more ports in our country, will continue to be the times of peaceful exploits of the people of Mexico and its Armed Forces,” he insisted.
