Sheinbaum: Mexico will not kneel. Three hundred thousand heard the Grito. Then the parade.
“México no se doblega, no se arrodilla y México nunca se vende.” 16,000 troops. Sovereignty is the line.

President Claudia Sheinbaum gave the Grito to more than 300,000 in the Zócalo on Tuesday night. City officials called it historic — 20,000 above last year. At 22:50 she took the flag on the balcony of Palacio Nacional. Heroines first: Josefa Ortiz Téllez-Girón, Leona Vicario, Gertrudis Bocanegra. Then the migrants. Then the cry. The Mexico desk files a plaza that was full two hours early.
Wednesday she reviewed 16,000 troops as commander. “México no será colonia ni protectorado de nadie, México no se doblega, no se arrodilla y México nunca se vende.” Defense Secretary Trevilla Trejo at her side. The parade is loyalty to civilian command. North of the river: diesel $6.31, a Court fight, a poll.
México no será colonia ni protectorado de nadie.

The Mexico desk files the 16th as it is: a shout, a column of troops, and a sovereignty she will not sign away.
