Overview

• President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized PAN Senator Lilly Téllez for asking U.S. media for foreign intervention, saying lawmakers are free but the public will evaluate them.
• Sheinbaum compared such requests to past conservative appeals to foreign powers and described unauthorized foreign operations as a matter of national sovereignty.
• Morena leader Luisa María Alcalde escalated the response on social media, accusing Téllez of being capable of selling out the country and betraying her homeland.
• Téllez’s earlier Fox News interview included support for designating cartels as terrorist organizations and claims that Sheinbaum aligns with cartel interests.
• The clash followed a tense session of the Permanent Commission where Téllez called Gerardo Fernández Noroña a traitor and alleged a leader of La Barredora was present in the Senate.
