Conferencia de prensa de la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo del 11 de noviembre de 2025

www.gob.mx/presidencia/...
Entonces, sí son dos proyectos de nación, sí son dos proyectos de nación: Uno que piensa que “el pobre es pobre porque no trabaja”. Uno que piensa que “mientras más concentración de la riqueza, mejor, porque en algún momento llegará al que menos tiene”. Uno que piensa que “los jóvenes deben pagar por su educación porque, si no, no la valoran” Uno que piensa que hay Estado de derecho a veces y a veces no, cuando le toca a ellos. Uno que piensa que “es mejor una intervención de Estados Unidos en México, para poder resolver el problema de la inseguridad” y entregar el país al extranjero. Uno que piensa que “el pueblo no es sabio”. Uno que piensa que “la historia de México no representa valores”. Uno que se burla de los pueblos indígenas. Ese es un proyecto de nación. Que, por cierto, hoy le llaman “ultraderecha”. Y otro proyecto que es humanista, que somos nosotros, que se define como humanista: Que creemos en el derecho a la educación, en el derecho a la salud, en el derecho a la cultura. Que creemos en las jóvenes y los jóvenes mexicanos. Que creemos en las niñas y los niños. Que creemos en nuestro pueblo. Que creemos en los pueblos indígenas, que amamos nuestra historia. Que creemos que la Independencia, la Reforma, la Revolución y la Transformación que estamos llevando a cabo es para el pueblo y ha sido por el pueblo. Que creemos en un país fuerte, independiente y soberano. Esa es la diferencia. Y que creemos en que los privilegios y la corrupción no llevan a ningún lado. Es un modelo esencialmente humanista, frente a un modelo clasista, frente a un modelo de discriminación. Esos son los dos modelos. Ahora, está dando resultados.

when you have lost shit-lib centrists like ezra klein, your party is doomed.
“If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make your arguments, and the country was just starting to pay attention. If Trump wanted to cancel flights over Thanksgiving rather than keep health care costs down, I don’t see why Democrats should save him from making his priorities so exquisitely clear. And I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure. That’s the kind of lesson he remembers.”—ezra klein in the new york times opinion pages.

"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."

― Elie Wiesel
“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.” ― Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident

In a healthy democracy it is probably not desirable that the intelligence services be wholly efficient, or wholly admired. —John le Carré, A Private Spy: The Letters of John le Carré.

epigraph from the latest novel from Mick Herron in the Slough House series, "Clown Town".
book cover of Clown Town by mick herron, which features text in white, all caps on top of a drawing of a london street, in the rain, lit in places by red and green light, where a man walks down the middle of the street.
