In a bold move, Mexican President Álvaro Obregón delivered a keynote address to Congress, reiterating the country’s stance on the Treaty of Amity with the United States. While the international community held its breath, Obregón declared that Mexico’s national development would prove to the world that the current government was responsible and worthy of respect. The 1922 address, delivered in Mexico City, left many wondering if Obregón’s words would be enough to sway the US into recognizing Mexico’s sovereignty.
Obregón’s message, however, was clear: Mexico would not budge on its stance regarding the Treaty of Amity, despite the US’ attempts to negotiate a resolution. The President suggested that the US might consider ratifying the agreement reached in New York earlier in the year, but stopped short of making a formal request. This lack of urgency has left many in the international community questioning Mexico’s willingness to work towards a mutually beneficial solution.
The President’s address also made it clear that Mexico would not be swayed by US pressure, particularly when it came to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution, which deals with the expropriation of foreign property. Obregón stated that the government’s policy regarding recognition by the US was one of ‘careful waiting’, implying that Mexico would not rush into anything that might compromise its sovereignty.
As tensions between the two nations continue to simmer, many are left wondering what the future holds for Mexico. Will the US finally grant recognition to the fledgling nation, or will Obregón’s cautious approach lead to further conflict? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Mexico’s President is standing firm in the face of adversity.
Despite the uncertainty, Obregón remains confident that recognition by the US would be a positive development for all concerned. He has decided to allow time to work out a solution, and many are hoping that a breakthrough is just around the corner. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Mexico’s President is not backing down.
The message was clear: Mexico would not be intimidated by US pressure, and would continue to pursue its own path, regardless of the consequences. As the international community watches with bated breath, one thing is certain: the future of US-Mexico relations has never been more uncertain.
