Morning press conference, from the National Palace. Thursday, September 26, 2024 President AMLO. 0:00 Start of broadcast 23:08 Press conference of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador begins 23:32 Question and answer session We support our president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in the decisions she made regarding the Ceremony of the Transmission of Federal Executive Power on October 1 because Felipe VI, King of Spain, did not respond to the letter we sent him on March 1, 2019 in which we proposed bilateral recognition of the grievances caused to indigenous communities and in this way begin a stage of respect and historical reconciliation. The future president made it clear that Mexico must be respected and that we are not a colony of any country. The relationship with Spain continues, there was only a pause in the political aspect, which is due to a principle of respect for the country's native peoples who suffered repression, transgression and extermination during the Spanish invasion in 1521 and during the colonial era. They were very spoiled because during the neoliberal period, the political and economic elites saw Mexico as a land of conquest, they came to make a killing from Spain. This has nothing to do with the Spanish people or with the relationship of economic cooperation, with culture, with brotherhood. It is a matter of arrogance and conservatism. The rest is secondary. The Mexican State does not ask for economic compensation nor does it have the intention of proceeding legally for the damages caused and, instead, wants the Spanish State to admit its historical responsibility for the offenses and offer the appropriate political apologies or compensation. Ten years after the disappearance of the Ayotzinapa students, we can honestly say that we did everything to find the young people, no one was protected; there is no impunity. The truth always comes out and we must continue the search until the case is fully clarified. We express our solidarity with the mothers and fathers of the young people. The search efforts in the field continue and the next president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, will continue the objective. We respect the right to free demonstration. The emblematic buildings of Mexico City, such as the National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral, are protected in order to prevent damage to the historical heritage. We are preparing the damage census to support the population of Guerrero affected by Hurricane John, which made landfall on Monday, September 23 and is still causing rain in the state as it moves towards the coastal area of ​​Michoacán and Colima. The Armed Forces and the National Guard continue to assist the population as part of the activation of the DN-III-E, Navy and National Guard plans. Authorities from the National Coordination of Civil Protection and municipal and state officials, headed by Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda, are also working in Guerrero. According to the latest report from the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), 95 percent of the electric power service was restored along the entire coast of Guerrero. Five deaths have been reported, four on the Costa Chica of Guerrero and one in Acapulco. Hurricane Helene, a category 2 hurricane, is located 460 kilometers north-northeast of Cabo Catoche, Quintana Roo, according to the 9:00 a.m. report from the National Meteorological Service (SMN). It is moving toward Florida, United States.
