“They are very toxic, I regret that they reach such extremes, you cannot wish death on anyone. When someone is in a situation like this, it is because they are very unhappy, very empty, with bad guts, because the most important thing in human beings are the feelings that should prevail regarding the situation of others. That is the essence of humanism, love of neighbor, ”he says when complaining about actors like Carlos Alazraki.

AMLO denies that “the Russians are behind the purchase” of the Boeing D787 Dreamliner aircraft. He recalls that during his campaign in 2018 he was also accused by the press of being financed by that country, a situation that he took humorously at the time, since he released a video from Veracruz in which he called himself “Andresmanuelovich.”

“That gentleman, Lozano, accused that the Russians were financing me,” he says, recalling what was expressed by Javier Lozano, former Secretary of Labor during the six-year term of Felipe Calderón.

In addition, the expense of 23 million dollars in spare parts was made.

The sale process began in 2019 and by 2023 its commercial value decreased to 92 million dollars.

It is expected that this Friday, April 28, the government of Tajikistan will take the aircraft to its final destination in Central Asia.

The agreed price was 1 thousand 658.7 million pesos, money that has already been delivered to the Mexican government. He emphasizes that Mexico does not have any debt for the aircraft, so all the resources will remain in our country.

He points out that the Institute to Return the Stolen to the People will keep a commission, later it will transfer the money to Banobras, who, in turn, will transfer it to the Ministry of Finance, which will finally deliver the money to Sedena so that it can build two hospitals, one in Oaxaca and another in Guerrero.

He maintains that the functions of the INAI can be absorbed by the Ministry of Public Administration to save that budget.

“We are not going to take a step back, not even to gain momentum. The transformation process continues, and to steal from another party”.

It challenges the opposition senators to maintain the sit-in in the Plenary Session of the Upper House.
