Electing judges Elect judges by popular vote
Said
Electing Supreme Court justices and judges advances democracy because the people decide.
“La democracia, porque también se avanza en la democracia al elegir a las ministras, ministros y jueces, porque es el pueblo quien lo decide.”
Our translation Democracy, because democracy also advances by electing the justices and judges, because it is the people who decide it.
Electoral authority Overhaul the INE and system
Said
Her electoral reform, rejected in Congress the day before, aimed to cut the privileges of political parties and the INE and strengthen people's participation.
“La reforma electoral que no fue aprobada ayer, que solo votó Morena y algunos diputados del Verde y el PT, tenía el objetivo de disminuir los privilegios en los partidos políticos y en el INE, así como fortalecer la participación de la gente.”
Our translation The electoral reform that was not approved yesterday, which only Morena and some deputies of the Greens and the PT voted for, had the objective of reducing the privileges in the political parties and in the INE, as well as strengthening people's participation.
Mexico and the United States
US tariffs Negotiate, avoid retaliation
Said
Mexico stays at the negotiating table with the US to reach a trade agreement, though some issues are not yet settled.
“Lo que sí puedo decir es que ha habido una muy buena actitud de tratar de llegar a un acuerdo. Y todavía hay temas en los que no nos ponemos de acuerdo y seguimos de manera importante en la mesa, igual que en otros temas.”
Our translation What I can say is that there has been a very good attitude of trying to reach an agreement. And there are still issues on which we do not agree and we remain, in an important way, at the table, as on other issues.
US action on cartels Reject US military action
Said
Asked about any attempt at intervention or unilateral action on Mexican territory, she said Mexico opposes interference and interventionism and favours cooperation.
“Nosotros no estamos de acuerdo con ni el injerencismo, ni el intervencionismo, sino con la cooperación y la colaboración. Eso es lo que hemos manifestado siempre y se lo manifestamos siempre al gobierno de los Estados Unidos.”
Our translation We do not agree with either interference or interventionism, but with cooperation and collaboration. That is what we have always stated and we always state it to the government of the United States.
