When Google announced that it was complying with US President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, many Mexico responded with laughter and a long, tired breath.
In his Daily Press briefing on Tuesday, Mexico’s President Claudia Shanbom widely abolished Google’s move, saying that Trump’s ruling applies only to the US Continental Shelf, which shows that this The country will not follow it.
“The Gulf of Mexico is still the Gulf of Mexico,” he said.
Many of its colleagues have been rejected in the same way.
On social media, consumers shared jokes, which some people called Trump’s “madness” with his country and his decision was unconventional. Some football fans sarcastically suggested that Trump is paying tribute to Mexico’s famous football team, Club Amya.
But not everyone laughs. In an editorial for a Mexican newspaper El UniversalLegal expert Mario Melgar-Dilid suggested pushing the country back.
He wrote, “Mexico will have to strongly oppose this intervention, otherwise the next step may be that the United States (Mexico’s formal name), as is based in our Constitution, began to call us Old Mexico. Will do. ”
In the Mexican coastal state of Verakroz, which is connected to the Gulf, Governor Roko Nahle rejected Trump’s move. The Governor wrote on social media last week, “Today and always … For 500 years it has been and will continue to and will continue.
The former resident of Verkroz called “funny”, who now lives in Mexico City, says that hundreds of years of history cannot be erased by a pen shock.
“You can’t change anything overnight, with which we have grown up – history, geography, all this. You may not be so authentic that you can change it from one day to the other.
Another resident told CNN that “many virurozeno express resentment, express confusion to others, and for many people it is entertaining… because people don’t care about the gap. Mexico’s name will change soon, and they enjoy playing with a change of name. ”
Another resident of Mexico city called Trump’s ruling “so childish”, who told CNN, “Obviously it’s not right.”
Google said on Monday that its move was “in accordance with the practice of implementing the name changes when they were updated in government sources.” The company noted that the change would only apply to the United States. Consumers in Mexico will continue to watch “Gulf Mexico” on Google Maps. The rest of the world will see both names.
Trump, in them Executive Order Last week, he said that he has directed the water to change the name of the Gulf of America “in recognition of this flourish economic resources and its important importance to our nation’s economy and its people. “” The order calls for a reflection of the change of maps and documents of all federal government.
He also ordered that the country’s tallest mountain, Danali, should turn his name back to Mount McCainy in honor of President William McCainley. Google said that when the official database of geographical information systems, names and location data is updated, it will also update the name of its maps.
At that time, Shenbam responded with derogatory. At a press conference, he presented a map of 1607, in which parts of North America were named “Mexican America”, and it had dryly suggested that the gulf should be renamed.
He said: “It looks good, no?”
