In this episode of Soberanía, hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth dive into four key stories shaping Mexico and the region: first, the political vultures circling after the assassination of the mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán, amongst renewed calls for US intervention and failed “war on cartels” policies. Second, a leaked U.S. memo exposing what Washington is demanding behind the scenes in the USMCA revision: a total handover of Mexican national sovereignty. Third, Spain’s cautious, long-delayed, and bet-heding apology for the legacy of conquest in the voice of their Foreign Minister. And, finally, in our perenntial “Losers & Haters” segment, a Florida politician that wants to wield that very agreement to pressure Mexico to cut off support for Cuba.
