Sheinbaum and Morena Leaders Condemn Lilly Téllez Over Fox News Remarks as Ethics Inquiry Is Sought

Téllez maintains she asked for cooperative assistance with Mexico’s consent rather than a foreign intervention.

Mientras que el llamado de Lilly Téllez a EE.UU. abrió un debate sobre los límites de la cooperación internacional en México, la misma solicitud hecha por un legislador estadounidense a una potencia rival como Rusia se considera inimaginable.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum called it “not minor” that a senator spoke to a foreign outlet about intervention and said voters should evaluate legislators.
  • Morena’s national leader, Luisa María Alcalde, accused Téllez of betraying the country and said the public will judge her actions.
  • Téllez rejected the treason claims, arguing she requested help against cartels within lawful cooperation and shared her interview to dispute the charge.
  • PT deputy Lilia Aguilar Gil requested that the Senate Ethics Commission open an investigation into Téllez over alleged treason.
  • The clash follows a heated exchange in the Comisión Permanente with Gerardo Fernández Noroña, and no formal sanctions have been announced as the dispute continues.
