National oligarchies are trying to instrumentalize the legitimate dissatisfaction of Mexican youth to try to force a regime change, with the aim of positioning themselves to fill any power vacuum that may be generated.
As we all know, over the past week, Mexico has experienced large-scale waves of protest against the government of Claudia Sheinbaum.
