Sheinbaum: no Mexican president answers to another country. Fox and Alito are a souvenir.
The mañanera rejected dual nationality for the executive and called a Fox meeting a memory of old corruption. The INE wants 13 billion pesos for 2027.

Claudia Sheinbaum used Sunday’s conference to draw a line her foreign desk already knew: no one sitting in the National Palace answers to another capital, and dual nationality is not a toy for the presidency. She called a meeting between Vicente Fox and the PAN’s Marko Cortés a souvenir of old corruption. La Jornada timed the clip. The Mexico desk of this newspaper is a foreign desk. We file what she said, not what Enlace would write.
The same edition carried the next bill: INE and the electoral court want a 2027 pile that journalists put at 51 billion pesos, 13 billion of that for the institute alone — more precincts, inflation, paper for ballots. Sheinbaum’s government will have to fund a midterm machine while Washington talks over the river.
No head of the executive should have to answer to another country.
