Sheinbaum stated that the relationship with the European Union has tensions but is generally stable; she rejected a request for an urgent arrest warrant against Rubén Rocha.

More Information When she stated that "the relationship with the United States government may have its tensions, but it is fine," President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected requests for an urgent arrest for the purpose of extradition of Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. "There are moments of tension, and we will always express our disagreements. We do not believe there is an urgent arrest warrant for the purpose of extraditing a serving governor, and there is no evidence. (...) We disagree when a Mexican citizen dies in a detention center in the United States and we are not certain that all their human rights were protected," she said. During the morning press conference on Tuesday, May 12th, the president presented a survey that indicates that relations between the two countries are stable, but she expressed her disagreement on certain issues, such as the deaths of Mexicans detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

On the other hand, she recalled that the United States imposed tariffs on steel, a measure that it also implemented for other countries. Therefore, she dismissed bilateral tensions, as reported by media outlets, "commentators," and social media users, spaces that she described as "filled with hate." "Then we get caught up in the social media frenzy, because there is a lot of hate and a lot of bots on social media, and increasingly, even TikTok is full of hate, hate, hate, hate. Well, X, you can't say anything, it's terrible. So, if we get involved in that online world, even just scrolling through the screen, and with the algorithms that social media platforms use, we're going to get caught up in the frenzy," she said. She emphasized that in other areas, the relationship with the United States is good, after acknowledging the problem of actions that are taking place in her country and the issue of the entry of weapons into Mexico: "There are no bilateral tensions, I don't see it that way, there are no bilateral tensions."

At the National Palace, the Chief Executive presented a survey to citizens of Sinaloa, in which they were asked which party they would vote for, and 45% responded that they would vote for Morena, despite the accusations made by Rubén Rocha Moya on behalf of the United States. "Of course, when a situation like a request for arrest occurs, we obviously work and express our position, but that doesn't mean there is a crisis with the vote in the United States or major tensions, or that we see it that way. There are problems, there are always problems, and there have been," she emphasized. nro/apr News according to your interests.
