The opposition in the Senate celebrated that, since the fourth transformation began, the head of the Ministry of the Interior has finally approached to have dialogue.
Yesterday, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, Secretary of the Interior, met with members of the Government Commission, privately, a meeting that lasted for more than three hours and where representatives of all the parties were present.
The central message: to tell the Senate that Mexico is ready for the complications that it could face once Donald Trump assumes command of the United States on January 10, but it is necessary to work in unity.
“We have to give a sum of work, a sum of wills, to give a State response to the probable problems that we will have in the month of January with respect to our countrymen,” she said in a message to the media after the meeting.
She stressed that the Mexican government is committed to dialogue, as was already done in the previous Republican administration.
“The Executive Branch is prepared to work in a coordinated manner with the federative entities, with the municipalities, to implement actions of consular assistance and protection, and to be prepared for reception in our country,” she indicated.
That is, it was made clear that Mexico will “in no way” act as a safe third country.
The secretary also asked the senators to support stopping the entry of weapons from the United States.
After the meeting, she assured that the meeting left her with a “good taste in her mouth.”
The PAN member Marko Cortés said in an interview that he applauded two things: that she had opened up to dialogue and that Mexico will not be “Trump’s backyard.”
Guadalupe Murguía, coordinator of the PAN, added that “the willingness to not only listen to us, but to be able to participate in the integration, in the creation of the laws, of the reforms that are presented” was requested.
Clemente Castañeda, MC coordinator, said that the possibility of an interparliamentary meeting with the United States and Canada was raised, which he viewed “favorably.”
