The Mexican government shot back at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after he accused the country of "undermining the rule of law," retorting that its political candidates actually acknowledge when they lose an election.
Speaking about the recent killings of journalists and politicians in Mexico, Cruz said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing last week that there was "deepening civil unrest in Mexico and the breakdown there of civil society, the breakdown of the rule of law."
Mexico's Ambassador to the U.S. Esteban Moctezuma responded to Cruz in a letter on Friday.
"You spoke about a 'breakdown of the rule of law'. I invite you to study what happened in our federal elections last June. All political parties, with no exception, accepted the results and kept moving forward to strengthen our democracy and freedom of expression," Moctezuma said.
