[^2]

Former Colombian President Gustavo Petro met with former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa in Mexico City on September 1, 2026, to discuss establishing a true anti-drug alliance based on social justice and the strengthening of democracy. [^3]

Gustavo Petro stated that he accepted Sheinbaum's invitation but decided to continue residing in Colombia. [^4]

Gustavo Petro, former President of Colombia, stated on 2026-04-12 during a lecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) that Mexico is in danger due to algorithmic manipulation via bot farms favoring right-wing candidates. [^5]

This new cohort of students represents the largest generation of undergraduate entrants in the university's recent history. [^6]

Alejandra Mercado Salomón explained that the difficulty is not just the absence of information, but also the lack of data homologation, interoperability, and quality, noting that a registry is only useful if its content is complete, reliable, and up-to-date. [^7]

Alejandra Mercado Salomón, a technical academic at the National School of Forensic Sciences (ENaCiF) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), stated that the main problem in human identification is the fragmentation of information. [^8]

Sofía Vianey Avelino Labana, technical secretary of the Sudebúsqueda seminar, stated that according to figures from various organizations, there are currently more than 72,000 deceased people without identification in Mexico. [^9]

Petro argued that the United States views Latin America as part of its 'vital space' to obtain natural resources and finance its geopolitical vision, linking this to new Arctic maritime routes and competition with China. [^10]

Petro proposed a dialogue between civilizations as an alternative to what he described as a possible 'human holocaust' caused by a scenario where technological power imposes itself in countries with greater military capacity, which he termed 'technofascism'. [^11]

Petro stated that the meeting aims to expand the communicational space of Latin American progressivism and achieve a genuine anti-drug alliance rooted in the social justice of peoples. [^12]
