Sheinbaum: no extradition without 'irrefutable evidence,' Mexican sovereignty is not negotiable
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
From Mexico City, the position is unequivocal. President Sheinbaum responds at her morning press conference with a precise formulation: 'The evidence presented by Washington is insufficient to justify extradition. We demand irrefutable proof.' Mexico News Daily details the conference, noting Sheinbaum cites international law and existing extradition treaties. The Mexican position is dual: legal ('the evidence standard is not met') and sovereigntist ('a country cannot extradite its own elected governor based on unilateral accusations'). Governor Rocha's cabinet denies the charges and calls them 'politically motivated.'
