Pascual is accused of behaving like a “Proconsul,” after Mexican authorities – due to incompetence or irresponsibility – assigned him that role. In a recent interview, Calderón lambasted Pascual for his “ignorance,” after the ambassador sent incontrovertible cables describing the real situation on the ground.
换句话说，卡尔德隆一边谴责美国干涉其内政，一边又积极寻求美国的干涉。他的政府在推动美国干涉的同时严厉批评美国干涉。无能或不负责任的墨西哥当局在迫使帕斯夸尔扮演总督角色的同时又借此对其横加指责。最近一次会面中，卡尔德隆因帕斯夸尔发电报说明真实情况而痛斥这位美国大使“无知”。电报内容读起来令人痛苦，但却令人难以反驳。
