On Wednesday the Governor of Florida, Republican Ron DeSantis, officially announced his request in the Republican Party primaries, ahead of the 2024 US presidential elections.
The initial criticism of DeSanti was not slow as expected. The first was President Joe Biden, who took to social networks to tease out the link to the crimes committed in the Republican announcement, tweeting: “This link works,” followed by a link to the president’s campaign donation site.
On the other hand, the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was even more direct and asked the Spanish community not to vote for the president, saying that he would consider policies that “do not respect” migrants: “Hopefully, the Hispanics of Florida will wake up and do not vote for him.”
In addition, AMLO criticized DeSantis for his proposal to close the border between the United States and Mexico to prevent drugs from passing between the two countries: “(DeSantis) also brought up the same thing, thinking that he wants the fentanyl thing. To get votes. Let’s start to see, because in one of them fentanyl comes through Florida and we have to inform people not to offend Mexico, because they learn to fear us, he settled in. And the good relationship between AMLO and Biden is known to everyone.
Also, groups of protesters belonging to pro-immigrant organizations, LGBTQ groups and Black Lives Matter, among others, gathered in Miami to protest the resignation of the Republican petition.
Dozens of protesters belonging to pro-immigrant organizations, LGBTQ groups and Black Lives Matter, among others, gathered in front of a Miami hotel to protest against President Ron DeSantis and the announcement of his petition.

Although of course, if Biden, AMLO, Black Lives Matter and the activists who are fighting to impose race doctrine had come together to criticize your petition, what would you be able to do, right?
