I have the strong feeling that those houses aren't going to work as intended.

An important detail to note is that a good part of AMLO's popularity is due to his use of social programs. (He's literally buying it.)

AMLO closed the NAIM and it cost billions. 🤷 How are any of these «infrastructure for the future»? The Felipe Ángeles Airport still hasn't reach its expected traffic and airlines avoid it for logistic issues. The Transisthums train won't be attractive unless they charges 0 in fees and somehow pay the use of a new ship in the other side of the Tehuantepec Ithsmus. The refinery of Dos Bocas floods every year, hasn't started working yet and need the oil prices to stay high (i.e. The war in Ukraine stays like this, Europe doesn't transit to green eneries and the US stop fracking.)

@@violamateo That was precisely a criticism from the begining: The new Airport had no conectivity with Mexico City. Remember that AMLO claim that Mexico - Airport train was already built in late 2021 and even upload a video of him, his wife and government officials in the train, but at some point the view from the vindows seem to disappear and many people got suspicious if it was a fake (I still in Youtube with th title Recorrido en el tren del Aeropuerto General Felipe Ángeles). Now you're telling me that is not build yet? 🤔 Also: The train is not an problem for airlines to start serving the airport (as ona has already done), but most still haven't move. And the hill was a fact to the point that they had to rebiuld a landing strip already in construction.

@bodyloverz30 Is just a thing that always happens with the goverment. Specially with this one.

@3rdwrldkid Puerto Vallarta is not a main destination as Cancún, Los Cabos or Mazatlán. In fact, Cancún has more than 10 TIMES the traffic of the AIFA on its first year. (I choose Puerto Vallarta since was the closest to AIFA). You also have Tijuana, Monterrey, Mérida and Bajío: None of them are hubs for tourism, yet they have more traffic than the AIFA. But let's take ypur point: «aifa was made to help lessen the traffic at aicm». Well, the government projected 2.4 millions of passengers in the first 10 months, but it only got a little less than 1.1 million, less than the half of the goal. And this is with all the limitations imposed on the AICM. Also: «Mainstream media»? Aristegui and Proceso went from «honest» to «sold» accordng to AMLO as soon as they expose the first corruption cases in his government // family. If your sources are YouTube channels managed by a single guy, created the year AMLO took office, and that only praise AMLO, of course all this is new to you. 😆

@adelatorremothelet That's ironic due the amount of people from the other two parties (PRI and PAN) in AMLO's cabinet (Bartlett himself), and plenty of cases of corruption (Ana Gabriela Guevara in CONADE, even AMLO's sons) And are you sure that spending goes where it has to? Poverty has increased since 2018, so AMLO is not even buying the approval of poor people.
2
@adelatorremothelet There's a lot of issues with your comment. First, why it would be negative to change policies after 50 years of doing the same? You actually think that policies have to be eternal? Second, wht you mention as 80s is the period of de la Madrid (1982 - 1988), which didn't saw any mayor changes. Before we had López Portillo, who was a hardcore populist whoe relied in social spending (just like the actual López). If anything, any major change came with Salinas and after the NAFTA well in the 90s. Third: About the «the people doing the policies are irrelevant»... Well, among these people you have Ovalle, the guy who embezzled CONASUPO in the 90s and embezzled SEGALMED. (One of the biggest scandals of corruption with AMLO) this year. (Who would guess he was like that, right?) With Bartlett you have that his non wife sudenly owns a haf dozen of houses and his son, León, sells overpriced medical equipment to the government... But the people is irrelevan, I guess. Fourth: The Bank rescue you complaint about (FOBAPROA) was approved by Mario Delgado, current president of AMLO's party, MORENA. (I guess you suddenly won't care too much about FOBAPROA now.) Fifth: Ho are you sure the money is going the right people? Despite AMLO prevent CONEVAL from doing its job (meassuring poverty), the INEGI still made sme job and they recorded an increase in poverty. The only conclusion is that this social spending ISN'T going to the poor people it was intented. Sixth: What makes you think that all the intended money went to social spending? We know for a fact of dozens of cases of corruption and funds diversion: Bartlett, Ovalle, Ana Gabriela Guevara, Ackerman, Andy López Beltrán (on of AMLO's son), José Ramón (another AMLO son), Delfina, and more recently, Sheinbaum taking a share of government eployees wage for her campaing. Seventh: The «whole world's economy» is getting back on track and we still have problems here (seriously: Who has'nt feel the increase in household spending? Even AMLO knows that the ony positive economic meassure he can bring are remittances and this have been recently related to cartels!) Also: Maybe the pandemic wouldn't be that bad if we had a decent management, but we had López Gatell claiming that mask doesn't work and the presidente had «moral force» preventing him to contract COVID, Alcocer caliming that there was no need to vaccinate childres (almost any latinamerican country vaccinated more than Mexico) and AMLO himself claiming that it wasn't necessary to do lockdowns, that everbody should go outside and he was protected by religous amulets.

@raulsanchez7451 Dos Bocas gets flood every year since 2021 and it supposedly started working last week (it was inaugurated months ago). The Maya Train took like 6 hours in a trip that takes like 2 hours by car and broke the first day of use. After a year since the AIFA entered in operations and has less traffic that some state capital ariports (even after reducing the traffic in the old airport). To say that the connectivity with Mexico City is «poor» is a positive assesment. Who or what is the Trans isthmus corridor having the Panama channel close? If you want a new record in this government, look at vioent deaths and disappearances.

@alatorre33 Moving a cargo ship isn't like driving a car... When you move goods from (lets say) China to the US, you hire a cargo ship. This has to be done in advance since those are scheduled. The attractive of Panama is that the same ship makes all the trip. If someone wants to use the Tehuantepec corridor, they need to pay one cargo ship in one side and a second in the other (twice as expensive), while also paying the train in through the isthmus. There's a reason why this was never developed before and the only attemp of a corridor was under Porfirio (before the Channel existed).

@CarlosRivas-cw5wu Eso sólo se dice en Twitter. En videos los militares literalmente dicen que están en reparaciones. ¿Cómo tiene reparaciones en un tren nuevo?
1
@frankAaronBether ¿Se supone qué eso es una respuesta? Porque cualquiera diría que te acabas de enterar del tema. 🙂
1
@CarlosRivas-cw5wu ¿Entonces por qué los mismos militares dijeron que estaba haciendo «reparaciones»? Pruebas y reparaciones son cosas distintas y no parece haber poder de razonamiento entre partidarios del tren que pueda explicarlo. Por lo otro estoy de acuerdo: AMLO salió igualito que Calderón.
1
@CarlosRivas-cw5wu Porqué aparentemente, la prueba que refieres se hizo sin técnicos presentes.

@frankAaronBether > Te di 3 datos de las tres obras de infraestructura grandes. > No diste un solo dato y respondiste con caritas felices. Digo... 1) Los emojis no son datos; quizás tengo que explicarte. 2) No hay diferencia entre tu respuesta «informada» y una ignorante. 3) Si no recuerdas que pusiste emojis solos hace apenas una hora (ahí está el comentario), probablemente el ebrio es otro (y la verdad eso explicaría mucho de tus comentarios, digo, se ve compatible. 😆)

@frankAaronBether ¿Dieron o no dieron la misma excusa a su negligencia de «sabotajes» que NUNCA pudieron probar? Y no nos compares: Mi opinión se basa en hechos (ahí tienes los videos de militares diciendo que hacían «reparaciones»), el AIFA sin el tráfico esperado y Dos Bocas que empezó a funcionar la semana pasada pero se ha inundado en 2021, 2022 y 2023. Tú no nada más repites que es tu opinión «porque quieres creer en Santa Claus».

@pavelmyshov464 You see, they doesn't feel separe if you consider the Felipe Angeles Airtport, another of AMLO's huge (semi obsessive) projects. You'll see: > AMLO stop the building of a previous airport (NAIC) with a poll. A lot of people record video of how you could vote up to 3 times in the poll. > Contracts for the new airport were given to a businessman close to AMLO (José María Rioboo). There was a funny episode where an airport landing strip had to be rebuild because nobody account for a nearby hill. > The dismantelment of the previous airport was made by companies of friends of one AMLO's son. > AMLO ask the previous minister of Roads and Infrastrucure to investigate corruption in the building of the previous airport. The minister (Javier Jiménez Espriú) realesed and investigation showing the he didn't find singns of corruption. This made AMLO furious and as I said, Espriú was the former minister. > The Felipe Ángles airport started operations in march 2022. To this day it had fall short to the use projection because not many airlines want to use it due security concerns. Criticism of localization and overlap of flight routes were voices when it was anounced, but why would the government had care? > About location, the Felipe Ángeles is like 1 hour to 1 and half hour from Mexico City. Nobody know why AMLO got obssesed with that place.
1
What do you think is the realistic narrative?
1
@frankAaronBether Ve los videos. Los mismos militares dicen que están en «reparaciones». Además de que ya usaron ese pretexto de supuesto sabotaje en el metro y recuerda que no atraparon a nadie fuera de una señora de la tercera edad a la que se le cayeron partes de una lavadora. Para colmo, siguieron los problemas y retrasos en el metro. Por otra parte, ¿la inundación anual de Dos Bocas también es sabotaje? 😆
1
No sé qué esperas que pase con el incremento de violencia (que no es exactamente positiva para el turismo) y un tren que se fregó el primer día de uso...
1
@adelatorremothelet And this is just what I can remember now. There's way more things terribly done this presidency even before AMLO took power (like the 2017 earthquake relief fund that MORENA used to launder money) and without mentioning the main fail of AMLO: Secutiry.
1
@adelatorremothelet Adressing every point: > " I didn't make any value judgment regarding the PRI's change of policies" The sentence "The PRI changed policies in the 80s in spite" is followed by "in spite". This doesn't imply something positive... And is preceded by "As long as the economic policies remain consistent". This is introduced as something positive in defense of AMLO having a lot of former PRI members. If you really didn't want to do any "value judgment", it wasn't wrote that way. > "Miguel de la Madrid did make policy changes:" But the banks stood in hands of people close to the goverment and farming subventions went back. In any case, this pales with the open to foreing markets. > "Corruption is a separate issue from economic policies." If you really wan to use this reasoning to defend serious problems with AMLO's administration (even within his family), than I think that you should also remove this factor from any criticism of any other party. (And that wasn't the case when you complaint with FOBAPROA.)

@adelatorremothelet > he was 23 years old in 1995 I feel you misread this... Who do you think I was refering? *> As I said, that money is well invested in social programs and not rescuing bankers. * According to metrics by the same government, poverty has increased. Best case scenario for you, both policies are equally bad. Also: In aditions to great policies... The whole AMLO package includes a refinery that still hasn't produces despite being inaugurated and that floods every year, promotion of baseball and funny things like the use of militry helicopter so a baseball team mascot could be in the oppening of the Mexican League or giving contracts to Rioboo who builted a airport runway that had to be rebuild because it didn't account for nearby hill or more tragic things like the spending in health and the shortage of medicines or the tragedy with the elevator in Quintana Roo last month. > In both cases, the money is deposited in their bank account to avoid embezzling. Do you think 10% of poorest people have bank accounts? (This also contributes to keep poor people poorer in relation to the people who get the handouts). This is why when pensions in other programs are given, people is requested to be present in specific places in their local municipalities and sometimes show proof of life. If anything, the fact that they deposit to a bank account without checking who has access or the persona is alive or even real, seems ideal for embezzling. And I remember you AMLO's problem with transparency and the sabotage of INAI since 2022. > Mexico's gdp grew 3% in 2022 I hate when AMLO repeats this because the point of comparision is the lowest point in the pandemic. We barely grew compared to 2019 or 2018. (Remember the «Negative growth» from the first or second year?) Rosa Icela from public security does something similar once a year in morning conferences: Close to the last third of the year she presents a graph or crime reduction using the HIGHEST month of the year to compare with the next two months, that obiously are lowe. > The peso is stable The USD is the one that has lost value to any other currency. > by contrast with EPN This was result of a devalutions of the CNY, but you can compare this to other currencies and Peña didn't do it that bad. Also: We reach the all time high of 25 with AMLO. > Arguably AMLO has been the only president that has not made things worse. How you argue that? What is the % growth of AMLO in that list? What I can confirm is that the number is in an historical high (almos in 100 years, so you have to come back to the revolution). And the lowest point in AMLO period is higher than the highest in Calderón's 6 years (AMLO even reached Peña in just 4 years). From here we have not only failed policies, but even failed promises, like the attemp to put a militar command in the National Guard, or the misuse of the NG to catch inmigrants from Central America and Haiti. > I was quite surprised that Bukele's plan actually worked in El Salvador Look at the numbers of homicides under Calderón: He was kind of downward curve the last year, but with García Luna there, who knows how much it was prevented from working.

@sorengal4728 Lo que está mal es como las emplean, que generalmente es clientelar. Puedes checar información de la CONEVAL sobre el crecimiento de la pobreza en el país este sexenio. (Si la idea de las becas es reducir la pobreza, pues están fracasando.)
1
@sorengal4728 ¿No estarás recibiendo becas por haber dejado de trabajar? 😂 😂 😂
1
@angelgallegos199 By independent media you mean YT channels created less than 4 years ago that only praise the president? There're plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of cases where programs, infrastructure plans and budget didn't ended as intended. You even can find corruption on members of the family of the president who aren't officials.
1
@pedrol.grande3048 How else? How about the slightest attempt at planning anything? If you're from Mexico, there's just no way you wouldn't be aware of the infrastructure, security (the most notable) and corruption failures.
1
@pedrol.grande3048 Actually, most of the people you find online that doesn't have any criticism of AMLO are either living in the US or related to government in some way. Exactly what promise has he keep? The security was demilitarized? The National Guard has a civil command? (Not thanks to AMLO.) I th AIFA working as intentended? (They still can't convience airlines to operate there even by reducing the trafic in the oold airport.) Did corruption ended? (We even have cases of corruption in AMLO's family!) Even better: Are your personal finances better? Are you buying more food or goods even with the welfare? Have you already eliminate all your debts? Have medicines become cheaper? And according to the government itself, the houses you mention where just 16... 16 houses in one single ejido, from a 143,073,000,000 MXN (or 8,135,457,329 USD) budget for a train that BROKE THE VERY FIRST DAY OF USE!
1
@The_Way_Ministries Did you know that the famous houses re just 16 in on single ejido... With a budget of 143,073,000,000 seems kinda low, isn't?
1
@alatorre33 Yup. And that's why it doesn't make too much sense.

Who will send goods through the trans oceanic corridor having the Panama Channel next door? I mean, would you take take the cost of hire two cargo ships, one to discharge in one side and other to charge in the opposite, while adding the cost of the train and take the gamble that the in land travel will be safe?
1
@raulsanchez7451 Of course! Don't you remember my name from the presidential cabinet of Peña? I must be a politician! 🤪 On the other hand, I bet that nowdays you live with no concerns or whatever about household finances, safety (yours and your faimily), etc., you must have already liquidated all your debts and probably you already have a new house and a new car 😆... Why wouldn't if this presidency is all the promises it made? 😒 And if you dislike PRI so much STOP VOTING THEM (Bartlett, Ovalle, Ebrard, Monreal, Elba, ALMO himself.)

@supermushroom3175 Can you point my «nonsense»? I know you can't. You know you can't. We both know that what I point out is just the plain sad truth.
1
@3rdwrldkid You mean after the public statement on how the (second) presidential reduction of flights on AICM will hurt customers? An even with that, AIFA still has less traffict that airports of Monterrey, Culiacán and even Puerto Vallarta!
1
@3rdwrldkid So, if the great projecto of the AIFA, that cost 280,000,000,000 just with the cancelation of the NAIM, is failing to the point that it serves to less passengers that the airports of Culiacán or Puerto Valarta... You think we must celebrate that? Yeah, sure. Totally not a «non-success». 🤪

How can you be pride of a train that didn't care for archeologycal sites and nature and broke the very first day of use?
