From Chiapas, Sheinbaum Urges Mexicans to Reclaim Cultural Greatness: 'We Mexicans Are a Big Deal'

From the heart of Chiapas, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo delivered a powerful message, calling on all Mexicans to recognize and celebrate the profound cultural richness that defines our nation. In an address at the Gertrudis Bocanegra Scholarship Assembly in Palenque, she invoked the spirit of the Fourth Transformation, urging young students to dedicate their skills "to the service of the homeland."

“

Llegó la hora del pueblo y llegó la hora de la patria, llegó la cuarta transformación de la vida pública de México. Y estamos recuperando la gloria y la dignidad de México porque México es mucha pieza. Hay países que pueden ser potencia económica, pueden ser potencia militar, sí, pero la grandeza cultural de México no la tiene nadie, por eso la canción de 'Como México no ha dos'.

Sheinbaum asserted that while other countries may boast economic or military might, none can match Mexico's unique cultural grandeur, famously captured in the song "Como México no hay dos." This sentiment resonates deeply, especially in light of recent U.S. actions, including accusations against Governor Rubén Rocha and the reported presence of CIA agents in Chihuahua. The President firmly stated that no foreign government can infringe upon Mexican territory, emphasizing that such attempts would be met with the principled resistance of the Mexican people.

“

El orgullo de ser mexicanos es algo extraordinario y siempre hay que estar orgullosos, saber de dónde venimos. Sea que en nuestra sangre corra sangre de un origen indígena, sea que hay mestizos, sea que ayer un extranjero se hizo mexicano por nacionalidad, todas las mexicanas y mexicanos debemos reivindicar la grandeza cultural de México

"The pride of being Mexican is extraordinary, and we must always be proud, knowing where we come from," Sheinbaum declared. Whether one's heritage traces back to indigenous roots, is mestizo, or includes those who have recently become Mexican citizens, she stressed that all Mexicans share the duty to champion their nation's cultural greatness. She reminded the audience that being Mexican means valuing family, upholding the traditions of our original cultures, and understanding that money is not the ultimate measure of worth.

se nos debe quedar grabado en la mente y en el corazón que las mexicanas y los mexicanos somos mucha pieza

Supporting the President's message, SEP Minister Mario Delgado affirmed that "sovereignty is not negotiated, it is defended through the education that shapes those who will uplift the Republic." He called for national unity as the response to external pressures. Governor Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar expressed gratitude for the federal support to his state, and IPN Director Arturo Reyes Sandoval highlighted the importance of scholarships and educational opportunities in fostering innovation. The event concluded with a spirited call to perform the IPN's traditional cheer, now dedicated to President Sheinbaum, underscoring a moment of national unity and pride.

la soberanía no se negocia, se defiende desde la educación que forma a quienes habrán de levantar la República
