Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador today reiterated that he will keep his “morning” (morning press conferences) and even extend them to Saturdays and Sundays in response to the opposition wanting to suspend them.
He said that while the opposition is angered by what he calls “circular dialogue,” people like the mornings because they are given information and most importantly, their right to it is guaranteed.
Of course, he said, the opponents don’t like that there are morning parties, but that’s the exercise of freedom of demonstration, of freedom of expression, because that’s a radical change.
It is that we are uprooting the practice of biased, sectarian, interested, lying, manipulative information, because that was the dominant system.
That, he said, seems very radical to them, and if it’s because the spokesmen of the regime or the oligarchy are no longer the ones who dominate the information, and what we’re doing makes them angry, although they wanted to counter what is with constantly planned attacks in the media, with honorable exceptions, although they are a minority because the majority is openly against us, there is no balance or professionalism.
As an example, he cited the tendentious treatment of an attack on journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, a staunch opponent of his, who saved his life because he was traveling in an armored van, and announced that he had ordered a thorough investigation with absolute Clarify what happened.
However, he ruled out that the anti-government campaign has had any impact because people know very well that we respect life and no one in the government would dare do such a thing because it is a matter of belief. (Latin press)
