I understand the source of the statement, but that full sentence is not correct.
I also wonder why you quoted the Finland page.
The part of that sentence on that page is correct "Mexican authorities require a passport to be valid for the duration of the stay in Mexico"
PERIOD! Airlines rely on TIMATIC to verify whether to permit travel and that does not indicate a 6 month validity requirement..

The Washington DC site says "The Mexican government only requires that your passport must be valid during the entirety of your trip", then mention some US Government requirement that I had never heard of and do not believe to be factual, regarding the US Government requiring 6 months of validity.
