Nuevo Leon’s Independence Push – When Being Right Isn’t Enough

Back in April, when the Texas Nationalist Movement announced our intention to extend assistance to independence movements in Northern Mexico, the media response was predictable. Like trained seals barking for fish, they performed their usual routine. “There are no independence movements in Mexico!” they proclaimed with their trademark smug certainty.

Fast forward to today, and Nuevo Leon is making international headlines with its push toward independence, led by figures like Gilberto Lozano who has spearheaded efforts to organize a public consultation on the issue. The opposition media finds itself in an uncomfortable position – caught between their knee-jerk denunciation of anything related to independence and the reality unfolding before their eyes. However, being right isn’t enough. What’s happening in Nuevo Leon deserves more than a simple “I told you so.”

The truth is that the situation in Nuevo Leon mirrors what we’re seeing in Texas in ways that the establishment media either can’t or won’t acknowledge. Like Texas, Nuevo Leon is an economic powerhouse that’s tired of being treated like a piggy bank for a dysfunctional central government. The numbers tell the story. Nuevo Leon, with its industrial heart in Monterrey, generates a disproportionate share of Mexico’s GDP, yet sees a fraction of those resources returned for local investment. Business leaders like Luis Enrique Grajeda Alvarado from the Nuevo León Employers Center and Gerardo Gámez Valdez of the National Chamber of Commerce’s Monterrey branch have been vocal about how federal policies funnel their state’s wealth to less productive regions like Chiapas. Sound familiar?

This economic reality creates the same frustrations we see in Texas. When hard-working people watch their wealth siphoned away to prop up failing policies and bureaucratic waste, resentment builds. It’s not about being selfish – it’s about fundamental fairness and the right to benefit from your own productivity. The people of Nuevo Leon, like Texans, are asking a simple question: Why should we continue to fund a system that works against our interests?

But there’s more to this story than just economics. The political parallels are striking. Just as Texans chafe under a distant federal bureaucracy that seems deaf to our concerns, the people of Nuevo Leon face a Mexican federal government that treats local autonomy as an inconvenience to be managed rather than a right to be respected. The recent political turbulence under Governor Samuel García isn’t just about personality conflicts – it’s a manifestation of the deeper tension between local self-determination and central control.

When we announced our support for independence movements in Northern Mexico, we weren’t just making a declaration of solidarity. We were acknowledging a fundamental truth that the establishment desperately wants to ignore: the right of self-determination knows no borders. The artificial boundaries drawn by past politicians don’t change the fact that people have an inherent right to govern themselves.

This is where the media’s willful blindness becomes particularly galling. They pretend not to see the historical context that makes the Nuevo Leon independence movement both natural and inevitable. This is a region with a strong tradition of autonomy, dating back to the Republic of the Rio Grande. The people of Northern Mexico, like Texans, have long understood that their interests often diverge sharply from those of their respective federal capitals.

But here’s what really terrifies the opposition: the growing recognition that these movements are interconnected. When we extended our hand to independence movements in Northern Mexico, we were acknowledging that the principles driving TEXIT – self-determination, local control, and fiscal autonomy – are universal. The fact that these same principles are now openly discussed in Nuevo Leon validates our position in ways that make the establishment deeply uncomfortable.

Consider the shared challenges we face. Both Texas and Nuevo Leon deal with the consequences of failed federal border policies. Both regions watch as their resources are drained away to fund programs that often work against their interests. Both populations increasingly question why they should remain bound to political systems that no longer serve their needs.

The media’s initial denial of independence movements in Northern Mexico wasn’t just wrong – it was revealing. It showed their instinctive hostility to any challenge to centralized power, regardless of merit. It demonstrated their preference for comfortable lies over uncomfortable truths. Most importantly, it highlighted their fear of what happens when people in different regions start recognizing their common interests and shared aspirations.

This is why the establishment works so hard to dismiss or delegitimize independence movements. They understand that once people start questioning the necessity of centralized control, the entire house of cards becomes unstable. They know that every successful push for greater autonomy encourages others to ask the same questions and demand the same rights.

The situation in Nuevo Leon is a preview of what’s coming. As central governments – whether in Mexico City or Washington, D.C. – continue to fail in their basic responsibilities while demanding ever more resources and control, the push for independence will only grow stronger.

For those watching events unfold in Nuevo Leon, understand that you’re witnessing more than just regional politics. You’re seeing the natural response of productive people who’ve grown tired of supporting systems that don’t serve their interests. You’re watching what happens when a population realizes that the status quo is neither inevitable nor desirable.

The establishment media can mock. They can deny. They can attempt to marginalize. But they can’t change the fundamental reality that people, whether in Texas or Nuevo Leon, have an inherent right to self-determination. They can’t alter the fact that centralized control is increasingly seen as an obstacle to progress rather than a necessity for stability.

When we announced our support for independence movements in Northern Mexico, we were criticized for supposedly meddling in Mexican affairs. What our critics failed to understand is that the principles of self-determination and local autonomy aren’t bound by national borders. The right of people to govern themselves isn’t a Texas issue or a Mexican issue – it’s a human issue.

The developments in Nuevo Leon are validating our broader understanding of how people respond when centralized power becomes more burdensome than beneficial. They’re confirming our belief that the desire for self-governance is a natural response to governmental overreach, regardless of which side of the Rio Grande you call home.

As we watch events unfold in Nuevo Leon, remember that this isn’t just about being right. It’s about understanding that the push for independence – whether in Texas or Northern Mexico – is part of a larger recognition that the current political structures are failing to serve the needs of the people they claim to represent.

For TEXIT supporters, the lessons are clear. The same principles driving independence movements in Northern Mexico are at work here in Texas. The same frustrations with centralized control, the same desire for local autonomy, and the same recognition that change is necessary are present on both sides of the border.

The establishment can deny reality all they want. They can pretend not to see what’s happening. But the truth is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: The age of unquestioned centralized control is coming to an end. Whether in Texas or Nuevo Leon, people are waking up to the possibility of a different future – one where self-determination isn’t just a principle in history books, but a living reality.

Being right about independence movements in Northern Mexico is satisfying, but it’s not enough. What matters is understanding that these movements are part of a larger awakening to the possibilities of self-governance. What’s important is recognizing that the principles driving TEXIT are universal, and their appeal knows no borders.

The real story isn’t that we were right about independence movements in Northern Mexico. The real story is that these movements, whether in Texas or Nuevo Leon, represent a growing recognition that the current system is broken beyond repair. The real victory isn’t in saying “I told you so.” It’s in watching as more people, on both sides of the border, come to understand that independence isn’t just possible – it’s necessary.
