Ciro Gómez Leyva held AMLO's dialogue with environmentalists:” Extraordinary political moment”

During his morning conference from the National Palace in Mexico City, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador proposed various dialogues with people who have spoken out against their social and economic policies.

In addition to the responses of the protagonists of stories such as criticism of the Mayan Train or the Electric Reform, there were multiple criticisms he received, but also the congratulations for changing his initial positioning of direct attacks and qualifications.

The exchanges of arguments came from businessmen linked to energy contracts, electricity contracts, among others, as well as artists, environmentalists, journalists, government politicians and allies, not forgetting the opposition, who cannot ignore any statement by the Mexican president.

In this regard, journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva said that there is an extraordinary political moment in the country, “which could land well for Mexicans”, in relation to AMLO's proposals for dialogue.

It was during his evening news on Imagen Televisión that he said that it was a success for the head of the Federal Executive, the standard-bearer of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), and that it could benefit not only his government, but all Mexicans.

Moments later, he defended the Mexican government and citizens against the accusations of David Páramo, who assured that through illegal migration, the United States is being invaded.

“We are not invading your country, what the United States wants is for Mexico to be a police officer and arrest migrants, they are playing very hard. Why are we going to be pursuing, above all, Mexicans,” said Ciro Gómez Leyva.

It was during the most recent media meeting that the president of Mexico issued an invitation for artists and activists, with the aim of discussing the construction of Section 5 of the Mayan Train.

It was through a statement that those involved in the Sélvame del Tren campaign were grateful for the openness to dialogue and debate by the President of the Republic, for which they reiterated that their sole interest is the preservation of the natural habitat of the area.

They also reiterated that, similar to what the president has mentioned, what they want is to provide opportunities for the social and economic development of the area; however, they pointed out that it is important that the conservation of the Mayan aquifer, as well as its rivers and caves, is also guaranteed.

However, they invited the Mexican president to travel to the area known as Section 5, and that the dialogue is not in the National Palace, so that he knows, from the first source, the needs that these are seen in the area. They also pointed out that they are looking for respectful and constructive dialogue.

On the other hand, President López Obrador appealed to businessmen who engage in self-supply of electricity, a practice that will be banned following the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice of the National on the Electricity Industry Law.

Faced with this, he asked these companies to sit down with the Mexican government to see how the problem will be resolved over the next few days, as he will either have to enforce the law or become an accomplice.

“We have to talk, I can't turn a blind eye to myself,” said the head of the Federal Executive, who recommended businessmen to start dialogues with their lawyers.
