Why read this note?
There are many citizens who today regret having voted for Andres Manuel López Obrador as president. Although the president has managed to keep his approval ratings high, strong discontent has begun to brew in sectors such as art, sports... and environmental defenders!
Eight out of nine are so far the promises related to the protection of our planet that López Obrador has no intention of fulfilling. This account, added to the inconsistencies in the environmental impact reports related, for example, to the construction of the Mayan train, highlights the current administration's little interest in environmental issues.
Mexico is thus at high risk of being France Mobile Number List among the countries that fail to comply with the 2030 agenda; which would mean a significant delay in terms of sustainability.
The newspaper El Universal has recently published very complete content related to the failure to fulfill these promises. Get the complete information and tell us; Do you think it would be time to demand greater action from the government in this matter?
Teresa Castellanos, the leader who continues the fight of the murdered Samir Flores in front of the thermoelectric plant in Huexca, Morelos , states categorically: “ Andrés Manuel López Obrador is not keeping his word .” He is betraying the people who voted for him and the country. He is not with the people.” He clearly remembers when, in 2014, during a rally in Yecapixtla , a town in Morelos, López Obrador-candidate promised on a stage: “We don't want that gas pipeline, we don't want that thermoelectric plant—applause from the public—we are going to support them in everything.” , you can count on us.”
Castellanos Ruiz is a member of Huexca en Resistencia and the Permanent Assembly of the People of Morelos , which have opposed the thermoelectric plant for years. She and her neighbors are holding a sit-in to prevent the construction of the last meters of the aqueduct that would conclude the Morelos Integral Project (PIM) . This million-dollar project, put out to tender in 2010, includes two power plants —one already built—, a 160-kilometer gas pipeline from Tlaxcala that runs along the foot of the Popocatépetl volcano, and that aqueduct.
López Obrador, already as President, changed his mind in February 2019. He announced a citizen consultation in nine municipalities of Tlaxcala, 36 of Morelos and 15 of Puebla, and spoke out in favor of the project and the result , which was positive for the PIM. , considered illegitimate by the residents of Huexca and surrounding areas. In total there were 55,715 votes: 60% in favor, 40% against.
“I know that he did not order this project to start, I understand that, but he has the opportunity to say that this plan is not working. The affected towns already said a long time ago that we don't want it, but he continues with his cheap speech that the thermoelectric plant is going to work," laments Castellanos Ruiz.
The Chief Executive has boasted, throughout his three campaigns until the Presidency of Mexico, that he has toured the entire country. After tracking those places that registered social conflicts with companies or megaprojects, EL UNIVERSAL looked for which López Obrador-candidate had made a promise and to what extent López Obrador-president fulfilled his commitments. Of the nine cases analyzed, one was completed, three are in process and five have not started.
At the beginning of June, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and the Ministry of Energy (SE) were asked about these commitments, but they had not responded to the publication of this text.
“The electoral context is always key to establishing an agenda that is not aimed at materializing in concrete government actions, but is based on a need to win, in a competition for all or nothing,” explains Salvador Mora, teacher in the Postgraduate in Political and Social Sciences from UNAM.
For the academic, there are big differences between López Obrador-candidate and López Obrador-president. While the first made independence a value, the commitments acquired and the limitations of power make that value disappear in the second.
“One of the most severe issues is that Morena is a project that presumes to be based on movements, such as those behind the opposition to thermoelectric plants or the development of dams, which it then disqualifies,” he concludes. _________________ Chile Mobile Number List |
