ARGENTINE President Alberto Fernandez made a high-profile official two-day visit to Mexico on February 22, where he was invited by Mexican President Amlo (Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador) to address the Mexican Congress and participate in one of Amlo’s well-known morning press conferences.
In addition to meetings with business groups and visiting a pharmaceutical plant which works with Argentina to process the Astra-Zeneca vaccine for Latin America, Fernandez attended two very symbolic commemorative events to mark the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence from Spain.
Both presidents made bold statements reaffirming Latin American unity and anti-imperialist struggle and Amlo chose the occasion to revive the memory of Vicente Guerrero, an Afro-Indigenous insurgent leader hitherto neglected in the country’s historiography.
