Mr. Luis defended President Peña Nieto 's foreign policy in regards to the protection of Mexicans in foreign countries, commerce, migration, national security, and said that he claims his historical responsibility in the relationship with the U.S. Senator Emilio Álvarez Icaza opened fire against Videgaray and tried to confront him with personal attacks. The chancellor said that there was no personalization of the foreign policy and that Mexico didn't rely on diplomacy through social media, but rather on professional negotiations with experts. The former ambassador in Brazil, Beatriz Paredes , backed the chancellor and asked Álvarez to be professional. We're told that although some Morena legislators have been critical of Videgaray , their interventions centered on the policies and not on personal attacks, unlike Álvarez Icaza.
