Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña sparked a new controversy by announcing that, in the event of a foreign invasion, Mexican citizens would be “reservists” obligated to defend national sovereignty, without being asked for permission to do so. The statement by the Morena party member, made in the context of tensions between Mexico and the United States, reaffirms his bellicose stance, as he asserted that he was ready to “face the invader’s bullets.”
Noroña’s words seek to position national defense as an absolute priority, without personal considerations, in the face of pressure from the Donald Trump administration on Mexico. However, the announcement of a possible forced mobilization has unleashed criticism and debate about the limits of civic duty in times of peace.
