Representatives and senators of the Permanent Commission of the national Congress agreed yesterday on a unanimous rejection of the “xenophobic and racist statements of the president of the U.S.,” Donald Trump.

In addition, in support of the statement by President Enrique Peña Nieto in which he reiterated that Mexico will not pay for the border wall, the federal legislators requested that the federal executive limit cooperation with the United States on issues that do not affect Mexico and its citizens.

The agreement rejected and condemned the verbal aggression, the restrictions on and feints regarding the North American Free Trade Agreement, as well as the unfriendly acts by the United States leader toward Mexico.

Luis Humberto Fernández Fuentes, the senator from the Workers’ Party, even asked for the suspension of some accords that are negotiated with the United States regarding migration.

Federal senators and representatives demanded “respect for our nation, migrants and Mexicans, all of them” from the president of the neighboring country, and insisted that the cooperation between and Mexico and the United States be based on the principle of reciprocity.

In addition, the members of the Permanent Commission of the Mexican Congress reaffirmed the statement of the federal executive that Mexico will at no point pay for the construction of a wall on the border of both nations.




Un rechazo unánime a las “expresiones xenófobas y racistas del presidente de los EU”, Donald Trump, acordaron ayer diputados y senadores de todos los partidos en la Comisión Permanente del Congreso de la Unión.
Además, en respaldo de la declaración del presidente Enrique Peña Nieto en la que reiteró que México no pagará el muro fronterizo, los legisladores federales pidieron al Ejecutivo Federal limitar la cooperación con los Estados Unidos en los temas que no afecten a México y sus ciudadanos.
El acuerdo rechaza y condena las agresiones verbales, los condicionamientos y amagos en el tema de la negociación del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), así como los actos inamistosos contra México por parte del mandatario estadunidense.
Inclusive, el senador del PT, Luis Humberto Fernández Fuentes, pidió suspender algunos acuerdos que se negocian con los Estados Unidos en materia de migración.
Senadores y diputados federales exigieron al presidente del vecino país del norte “respeto a nuestra nación, a los migrantes y a los mexicanos, todos”, y demandaron que la ¬cooperación entre México y Estados Unidos se sustenten en el principio de reciprocidad.
Además, los integrantes de la Comisión Permanente del Congreso mexicano reafirmaron, como expresó el Ejecutivo federal, que México no pagará en ningún momento la ¬construcción de un muro en la frontera de ambas naciones.
