Similarly, he stressed the position assumed by the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, “who has stood up to raise the voice of truth, morality, and the dignity of an entire continent”.
Likewise, he highlighted the firm and courageous position of the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro; the Bolivian president, Luis Arce; the Argentinean president, Alberto Fernández, and of other governments that “with different tonalities and emphasis have been forceful and clear”.
