This Wednesday, in response to questions from the press regarding the persistence of the critical stance of USA to the call plan Cthe president said:
“No comments, I mean… right?… one is the owner of one’s silence too, I mean, and sometimes one is a hostage to what one says, so, no comments.”
And he insisted on his position of defending the sovereignty of Mexicans in issues that only concern them, such as the discussion of the reform to Judiciary:
“We already talked about it, it is very clear, it was already understood (…) just remember, as the lawyers say (…) what do you want?, the lawyers say, for me to read the article? It is a great insult.”
The above, since the American ambassador, Ken Salazar will resume his criticism against the so-called Plan C, by saying that:
“If it is not done well, it can cause a lot of damage to the relationship (United States – Mexico). I am not saying this just as an Ambassador, I am saying this because of all the concerns that I am receiving from people who truly want the best for Mexico and the people.” USA”.
Comments from Salazar They occurred the day after Lopez Obrador He acknowledged that neither the diplomat nor the Department had made any statements on the matter, and even considered it a policy of “responsibility and prudence.”

In his morning press conference on August 27, López Obrador said that relations with both nations are maintained, but not the relationship with Ken Salazar – and incidentally with Canada – “pausing means that we are going to give ourselves our time.”
And he stressed that:
“How can we allow the ambassador, with all due respect, this is not a matter of dispute, but how can we allow him to think that what we are doing is wrong, but we are not going to tell him to leave the country, but we do have to read him the Constitution, which is like reading him the riot act.”
Four days before, Lopez Obrador charged against Salazar due to his statements on the reform, considering that it would put investments and democracy in Mexico at risk, to which the President He noted:
“This is a reckless statement. A diplomatic note has already been made, we do not accept interference (…) I hope this does not happen again.”
