“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
AMLO: Today is Christmas Eve and everything reaffirms itself in the humanism that has existed since human beings have lived in this world. And of course today we remember the birth of Jesus Christ who is also a preacher of humanism and love. This is a night to wish everyone a lot of happiness. To pray that the sick get better, that those who are suffering have moments of happiness, that the poor, the dispossessed, never lose faith, or hope for a better future. That is what all Mexicans, all human beings are fighting for. Our thoughts are not only on ourselves. They’re also on our neighbors, on others. We send out to everyone many, many, many best wishes. Tonight is not a night for confrontation, for quarrels, much less for war. Christmas Eve is about peace this evening, about love. Just as well for tomorrow as we go into Christmas.
Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller: And so as the tradition goes. Today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow Christmas Day. This family from the bottom of our hearts wishes that everyone will be having a delicious meal at home today or tomorrow. Especially the children who love this season so much, the grandparents. To all the families of Mexico we wish you a very Merry Christmas. A very Merry Christmas. Because we as a family are also going to celebrate together and we hope to have a good time. As AMLO previously mentioned: in peace, with joy, remembering even those who are no longer here with us this Christmas because they’ve departed the world. On our behalf receive a warm embrace and season’s greetings.
AMLO: Much love to everyone.
