On Thursday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declared her intention to propose constitutional changes aimed at safeguarding Mexico’s national sovereignty.

This initiative comes in response to a decision by the U.S. government to label six prominent Mexican drug cartels and two Latin American gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.

The list encompasses notorious cartels operating within Mexico, as well as international criminal networks active in the area.

During a press conference, Sheinbaum highlighted that the Mexican populace will not accept any form of intervention, intrusion, or actions that threaten the nation's integrity or independence.

She indicated that existing legal restrictions on the operations of foreign agents will be permanently enshrined in the constitution.

Furthermore, she suggested an additional amendment to impose harsher penalties on arms trafficking, a measure designed to reduce the influx of weapons from other countries.

The president pointed out that the U.S. decision was made without consulting Mexican officials beforehand and warned that such unilateral actions might lead to unauthorized military incursions.

Mexican authorities are currently evaluating the proposed reforms while also engaging in established law enforcement and diplomatic efforts to tackle ongoing security issues.
