CDMX.- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador considered that the march to the Zócalo called for February 26 uses the defense of the INE as an excuse for conservatives to unite against his government.
“Now they are organizing a march supposedly because the INE is going to be affected, a pretext, an excuse, what they want is to unite, the entire conservative bloc is coming together,” he declared.
In a conference, the President asserted that the media are also in favor of the march.
“The elites, the organic intellectuals, the media, the bullies from above who use journalism as a business, not to inform, to serve society, but to take advantage, blackmail, obtain contracts, group together and ask for the reform of the Constitution,” he accused.
He asserted that the march is not for the citizens, but for the members of the Va por México alliance and characters like Claudio X. González.
“It is a demonstration not of citizens, it is from the PRI, PAN, PRD and some corrupt potentates headed by Claudio X González.”
The march, he asserted, is for the defense of privileges.
“They come to protest because they don’t want the poor to be supported.”
The Chief Executive described the march as a “political striptease.”
“The PAN voted against the pension for the elderly, it bothers them that people in need are supported, here they all come and before they pretended that the PRI and the PAN were different and now they are not.
“The same in the case of the information media, they are completely at the service of the oligarchy and the organic intellectuals, they are the ones who summon, but it is good that this is happening, without masks, it is like a political striptease, the king is naked “.
