Mexico’s Sheinbaum Condemns US Bombings
My favorite two Mexican leftists from Soberania (Sovereignty).
In this week’s episode of Soberanía, hosts Kurt Hackbarth and José Luis Granados Ceja dive into the Trump administration’s latest round of extrajudicial military assassinations — this time in the Pacific — and Mexico’s response after rescuing a survivor off the Acapulco coast.
With no end to the military buildup in sight, and while attempting to make military action against Venezuela look increasingly inevitable, the US is backing itself into a corner of its own making.
Our hosts proceed to break down the new round of North American trade negotiations and what they reveal about how Mexico and Canada are navigating their respective relationships with Washington.
Kurt and José Luis also report back from a recent conference on “delinking” — how countries in the Global South can move beyond the historical dominance of the Global North to create genuine sovereignty in the political, economic, and financial realms. And as always, they wrap up with their Loser and Hater of the week, tied to the last-minute attempt to manufacture consent for U.S. military aggression.
Get to the end, and you will get a glimpse of the very deep anger from people who are peaceful, floating in the LAC, and the solid resistance that is not always spoken.
Sceinbaum, every morning in her Mañanera, speaks to the crowd at the Zócalo, the main square in Mexico City. Scheinbaum is as popular as President Putin.
