Good morning, early birds! Welcome to the quirky world of AMLO's morning conference, where our President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) starts his day with a whirlwind of topics, like a mariachi band playing a medley of news. Strap in and hold on tight as we dive into the latest highlights!
Let's start with the fight against fentanyl trafficking, where AMLO proudly showed off the number of seizures made during his administration. It seems like the drug traffickers are now singing a different tune, as the President put it, "Before, they had the power," but not anymore!
Next on the agenda is a high-profile meeting with Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, the security advisor to the US government. They'll be talking about issues ranging from migration to drug trafficking, arms, and even work visas. It's like a spicy salsa mix of cross-border concerns!
And speaking of migration, AMLO is opening a new legal channel for migrants to reach the United States without having to trek through Mexico, dodging dangers along the way. A big step forward in international diplomacy!
But let's not forget about our cultural heritage, which, according to AMLO, is the secret sauce that flavors our country with hard work and honesty. Corruption, he said, has no roots in deep Mexico, unlike those first gold rush dreams.
The President also revealed exciting news about the Inter-Oceanic Corridor, where industrial parks will be popping up like cacti in the desert. The line will be ready for transit in September, making it a highway of progress!
But watch out opposition! AMLO has a bone to pick with their health insurance proposal. He's throwing shade at the idea of workers paying a whopping 70,000 pesos a month! "That's just bananas," he said, as the average worker earns a fraction of that amount.
Talking about leftovers from the past, the President aims at the neoliberal period, where concessions were handed out like piñatas at a birthday party. Highways, mines, and even rubbish collection got their share. But now, AMLO is reviewing the water concessions in Veracruz to ensure they're fair and square.
Oh, and did I mention the marathon runners from the Rarámuri community? AMLO's got an invitation for them to reach out to the sports authorities for support. This President sure knows how to be a champion for the underdogs!
Amidst all this, we have a sprinkle of Spanish politics, where AMLO cheers for the Spanish people for not falling into the "right" trap. It's a political dance with parties and coalitions jostling for seats in the Spanish legislature.
And if you thought that was enough, hold your sombreros, because AMLO takes on inflation, economic improvements, and those pesky rating agencies critiquing Pemex's debt. He's like a luchador taking on all challengers in the ring!
Of course, there's also a touch of archaeology and Mayan Train progress. It's like uncovering ancient treasures as the INAH works to safeguard archaeological pieces along the train's path. Step aside, Indiana Jones, AMLO's got it covered!
And finally, the icing on the cake, we get to see who's who in fuel prices! Ricardo Sheffield Padilla, the federal consumer's attorney, spills the beans on gas prices and the cost of the basic food basket. It's like a thrilling guessing game of pesos and liters!
So there you have it, folks, the AMLO's morning conference. A mix of serious issues and news updates delivered by our President, with a dash of Mexican charm. Until the next, adiós amigos!
