Security
Security Civilian-led police and justice
Said
Using the armed forces for public security has failed under every president from Calderón to Sheinbaum.
“Distraer a las fuerzas armadas de sus tareas constitucionales causó un desastre en seguridad. Y también en otros frentes. La militarización ha sido un rotundo fracaso. Con Calderón, con Peña Nieto, con López Obrador y también lo será con Claudia Sheinbaum.”
Our translation Diverting the armed forces from their constitutional tasks caused a disaster in security. And also on other fronts. Militarisation has been a resounding failure. With Calderón, with Peña Nieto, with López Obrador and it will also be so with Claudia Sheinbaum.

Institutions
Electing judges Appoint judges by merit
Said
The overhaul of the judiciary destroys judicial independence and the separation of powers, an attack on constitutional rule of law.
“Destruir la independencia judicial y la división de poderes es un atentado contra el Estado Constitucional de Derecho. Es una infamia.”
Our translation Destroying judicial independence and the separation of powers is an attack on the Constitutional Rule of Law. It is an infamy.

Mexico and the United States
US tariffs Negotiate, avoid retaliation
Said
He defended the outcome the government reached with the US, saying no better alternative was within reach and the adversary is Trump's protectionism.
“¿Y cuál era la alternativa que estuviera a nuestro alcance y fuera mejor? ¿Los aranceles que le impusieron a la Unión Europea y al resto de países latinoamericanos? ¿No les fue peor? En esta coyuntura, el enemigo no está en México. Es Trump y su política proteccionista.”
Our translation And what was the alternative that was within our reach and was better? The tariffs they imposed on the European Union and the rest of the Latin American countries? Didn't they fare worse? At this juncture, the enemy is not in Mexico. It is Trump and his protectionist policy.

US action on cartels Reject US military action
Said
Morena should be defeated at the ballot box, not through foreign intervention, which he calls a pretext.
“No con intervencionismo. Pretender “resolver” problemas de México con injerencia extranjera es una coartada: buscar de forma ilegítima lo que las urnas les niegan.”
Our translation Not with interventionism. Claiming to “solve” Mexico's problems with foreign interference is an excuse: seeking illegitimately what the ballot boxes deny them.
