18/04/2024 | 18:50:16 Thank you, President. The situation in Israel and the Gaza strip is taking on horrific and unexpected dimensions. On the one hand, Mexico has condemned the inclusion of Gaza in Israeli land. We also condemned the killing of certain Mexicans during the attacks. On the other hand, we also condemned the disproportionate attack by Israeli forces on Gaza, which has left us with one of the most desolate images we have seen in recent years in the world. Mexico reiterates its deep concern regarding... 18/04/2024 | 11:55:38 Thank you, Mr President. Since the Rio Summit in 1992, the international community has begun to become aware of what lies ahead. It certainly is not flattering. As a result, agreements were signed on biodiversity and climate change, as well as the adoption of the Earth Charter and Agenda 21, which today have led to Agenda 2030, the one that has been so much attached by conspiracy theorists. We welcome these two reports on the environment with the aim that the Council of Europe should place... 17/04/2024 | 20:30:40 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The death of Alexei Navalny during his stay in a maximum-security prison in a remote part of the Russian Federation leaves many questions about the conditions under which the unfortunate event occurred. Navalny was in the prime of his life. His fight against corruption in his country made him a symbol of resistance and therefore an opponent of the regime. Despite his poisoning in 2020 and his admirable recovery, he continued his anti... 16/04/2024 | 20:00:07 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Since the beginning of hostilities, Mexico has been clear in its condemnation of the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine, a fact that should never have happened because there were still sufficient diplomatic elements to avoid a war of the dimensions it has taken. Despite this, the war intervention took place and the consequences have been disastrous. The financing of the war has reached exorbitant figures and the economic repercussions... 15/04/2024 | 17:34:55 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I would like to congratulate Mrs. Kovács and Mrs. Meirelles on their reports on the promotion of democracy in the parliamentary sphere. There is no doubt that the relationship that should exist between the majority group and the opposition goes beyond the discordant and, in some cases, reckless positions that the conservative parties increasingly adopt when they are in opposition. When the onslaught is intense, the opposition lashes out in... 25/01/2024 | 19:06:59 Thank you, President. Guaranteeing media freedom and guaranteeing the safety of journalists is an obligation of the Mexican state. The constitution of the united Mexican state establishes under Article 6 that "everyone has the right to access information" and "everyone has the right to freedom of expression". That includes the right to practise as a journalist, freely and safely. Within that context Mexico has decided to shoulder that responsibility of shouldering of protecting and promoting... 24/01/2024 | 17:01:48 Chair, Director General, The OECD has been critical of Russia's actions in Ukraine and has urged Russia to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and to abide by the ceasefire arrangements set out in the Minsk agreements. This body has been actively involved in international diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution, promoting dialogue and negotiation and urging the parties to find a diplomatic and peaceful solution to the crisis in order to avoid an escalation of... 23/01/2024 | 20:26:13 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The use of the issue of migrants in political discourse does nothing more than encourage hate speech against migrants, with a series of unforeseen consequences that do nothing more than trample on people's dignity and denigrate them. This is what is happening at the moment in the electoral process in the United States with the Republican pre-candidates, including Donald Trump, and even governors, such as the governor of Texas, who has openly... 23/01/2024 | 20:18:33 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) In recent months, the Middle East has witnessed an escalation of violence that has left the world in shock. The Hamas attack on Israel triggered an immediate response from the Jewish state, further aggravating the already volatile region. As the days go by, the response of the State of Israel has been bloody and has intensified, and with it, the fear of an even greater escalation. The situation in the Middle East is complex and full of... 13/10/2023 | 12:05:52 Thank you very much. What a pleasure, Madam President. Thank you so much. Prevention of addictions is a matter of national security. Preventing addictions is in fact one of the three fundamental pillars of the national education agreement, which consists of the adoption of a culture of peace, the fight against drug use, and respect for the rule of law. For the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the recovery of humanist values requires a struggle against the narco-state, a...
