MEXICO CITY (apro).- Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, Morena's virtual presidential candidate, sent a message to Mexican migrants living abroad, to tell them that she is "committed to her causes" and that "very soon" she will visit some cities in the United States to meet with them.

Two days after it was revealed that photos of her participating in public and political events were screened in Times Square, New York, the former head of government of Mexico City released a video message on her X account, aimed at Mexican migrants abroad, particularly those living in the neighboring northern country.

The Morenoite informed them that she is already the national coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of Transformation and that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador gave her the "command cane" to continue the movement.

He added that the "historic reduction" of poverty in this administration has been, in part, "thanks to the remittances that you send in solidarity to your families."

The Morenista stressed that there are committees of Mexicans abroad "in many cities" that support the movement, in addition to the fact that in the National Council of Morena and there are representatives of Mexican migrants, particularly in the United States.

"In this new stage, you will be a very important part of the transformation, we count on all of you," he told them and added:

"Be assured that we will continue to work and raise our voices with you in the face of all the injustices that complain to us.

As President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said, you are heroes and heroines of this time."

Then, he sent them the main message:

"In me they have someone committed to their causes and very soon we will see each other in one of the cities that are in the United States. There we will be able to talk about what we have in front of us, what the transformation means for Mexicans in the United States."

Last April, before he left the Head of Government, Sheinbaum Pardo went to Denver, Colorado, to the Summit of the Cities of the Americas, and took the opportunity to meet with a group of Mexican migrants, among whom he received complaints about insecurity in Mexico.
