The Vulture Doctrine: Assassination of Mexican Mayor Sets Off Destabilization Efforts

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.
