GOBIERNO DE MÉXICO

Ciudad de México - 03/10/2026

Tonight, the Mexican flag continues to wave exactly THE SAME as it did yesterday.

It has lost NONE of its colors. The eagle has not disappeared. No one has erased the spirit it represents for the citizens of this country.

And yet, something has changed.

Mexico NO LONGER belongs to the alliance that, for a time, called other nations friends, partners, and brothers. There will be those who speak of an immediate invasion, those who celebrate the decision, and those who immediately begin assigning blame, INSIDE and OUTSIDE the country.

I prefer, first, to look at the flag as Vice President.

I do not intend to turn Mexico’s departure into a victory, nor to disguise its consequences. Losing allies comes at a cost, and it would be naive to deny it.

But there is also a cost to remaining within an organization when a nation believes that its name, its interests, or its sovereignty ARE NO LONGER BEING RESPECTED.

And perhaps that is what hurts the most.

Because Mexico does not look at FUA as an enemy.

Mexico looks at FUA as something we once helped build, something we once believed in, and whose current state causes us profound pain.

It hurts us to see what our alliance has become.

It hurts because it seems that, somewhere along the way, WE FORGOT WHY IT WAS FOUNDED.

An alliance is not created to silence its members.
It is not created to impose the will of some over others.
It is not created to turn internal disagreements into threats.

An alliance should exist for precisely the opposite reason: to allow different nations to remain together without ceasing to be sovereign.

Mexico, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE GAME, has built much of its relationship with the world around one simple principle:

The respect it demands for itself is the same respect it must grant to others.

Throughout our history, our foreign policy has recognized that no nation, large or small, should exist subordinated to the will of another.

That every people has the right to make its own decisions, protect its interests, and follow its own path without a foreign power attempting to dictate what it must do.

When a member of an ALLIANCE must surrender its ability to make its own decisions in order to preserve its place within it, a true alliance among equals ceases to exist, and a relationship of subordination begins to emerge.

And there is something I want written here not only for those who govern Mexico today, but for ANY FUTURE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, MINISTER, OR CITIZEN WHO MAY ONE DAY READ THESE WORDS.

Let there be a historical record of what happened.

Mexico did not begin the disturbances that ultimately damaged its relationship with FUA.

The first serious deterioration of our relationship within the alliance began with Jamaica and with the actions and conflicts that arose around it.

This point should not be written in order to fuel eternal resentment against the Jamaican people, nor to transfer responsibility from one generation of players to another.

It should be written simply because nations that forget how their conflicts began eventually allow others to rewrite their history.

Future Mexican governments may reconcile, negotiate, rebuild relations, and even walk once again beside those who today stand on the other side.

But they must know where this crisis began.

Jamaica began the disturbances that fractured Mexico’s relationship with the FUA alliance.

Let it be recorded.

Not as an order for revenge.

As a precedent.

Our departure from the alliance does not, on our part, imply an automatic change in foreign policy toward those who, until yesterday, were OUR PARTNERS.

Mexico DOES NOT consider its former allies to be enemies, nor will it seek to turn a political disagreement into a permanent conflict between nations.

There will be no aggression against any former partner unless it becomes necessary to defend national and international sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the security of Mexico, in accordance with the legitimate decisions of our institutions and the will expressed by our citizens.

Because we must remember one thing:

ALLIANCES END. RESPECT BETWEEN PEOPLES DOES NOT HAVE TO.

For this reason, we call upon the peoples of Latin America and the international community to reject, through political, diplomatic, and democratic means, any international structure or leadership in which a nation is treated as inferior simply because it holds interests, principles, or ideas different from those of its partners.

A WORTHY ALLIANCE DOES NOT DEMAND OBEDIENCE. IT DEMANDS RESPECT.

No country should have to choose between preserving its voice and preserving its allies.

No people should accept that their flag carries less weight at the table simply because they think differently.

Mexico is leaving an alliance.

IT IS NOT ABANDONING RESPECT FOR THE NATIONS THAT ONCE MARCHED AT ITS SIDE.

And if there is one thing we hope remains after our departure, it is precisely this:

That our former allies continue to be treated as sovereign nations, in the same way that Mexico demands to be treated.

Because, despite everything, we still remember what FUA was meant to represent.

And perhaps that is exactly why it hurts so much to see it today.

For this reason, from these pages, not only as Vice President but also as a journalist, I give voice to my people and demand a clear response from the Presidency of FUA.

Mexico deserves to know where the hostility we now perceive toward our country comes from.

We deserve to know whether the decisions taken against Mexico truly represent an AUTONOMOUS position of the alliance and its members, or whether behind them lies retaliation driven by the personal interests of one individual and amplified through that individual’s network of influence.

We are not asking for submission.

We are not asking everyone to agree with Mexico.

We are asking for something much simpler:

THAT FUA REMEMBER WHY IT WAS CREATED.

That it remember that an alliance among sovereign nations cannot survive if its members begin to perceive one another as subordinate.

That it remember that the strength of an alliance is not measured by how many countries obey, but by how many different countries can sit at the same table and still call one another allies.

Latin America has spent far too much time remembering who betrayed whom, who abandoned whom first, and who committed the most recent offense.

One day, we will have to decide whether we wish to continue inheriting those disputes or build something new upon their ruins.

Even if tomorrow our country were to disappear completely from the map, those who lead this community today should remember one thing:

MEXICO MAY FORGIVE, BUT MEXICO DOES NOT FORGET.

We will not forget those who stood by our side.

But neither will we forget the decisions that brought us here.

And we will not renounce the idea of a LATIN AMERICA FREE FROM TYRANTS.

That dream does not depend on a single administration.

It does not depend on a single alliance.

It does not even depend on the players who currently occupy these territories.

It will survive as long as new citizens continue to arrive, willing to build something better than what they inherited.

So I want to end with a few final words.

Mexico will not remain on its knees simply to preserve its place on a map. If defending our sovereignty means standing alone, WE WILL RESIST.

If it means losing our territories, we will defend them for as long as our resources allow.

And if those who oppose our position today decide to erase Mexico from the map for standing by what we believe in, then let this also be written for those who come after us:

MEXICO WILL BE ERASED WITH HONOR.

If our fall one day serves to remind other nations that no alliance should demand that they abandon their dignity in order to belong to it, then even our defeat will have meaning.

If you wish to collaborate with the Mexican Army in defense of INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY, you may contact me or any member of the Mexican Cabinet.

SINCERELY,
VICE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
